What is the Ross Procedure? The Ross Procedure is often very effective for treating damaged aortic valves. The aortic valve handles all the blood being pumped back out to the body. The patient’s pulmonary valve is similarly shaped and can usually be “swapped out” with the damaged aortic valve.

Ross Procedure — “Borrowing” your healthy valve and moving it into the position of the damaged valve aortic valve and replacing the “borrowed” valve with a new valve. TAVI/TAVR procedure — Transcatheter aortic valve implantation/transcatheter aortic valve replacement
There are other minimally invasive valve surgery techniques including video-assisted surgery, robotic-assisted surgery or surgeries performed with an endoscope. Your health care team will discuss available treatment options for your valve condition.
TAVR or TAVI is a minimally invasive procedure where a new valve is inserted without removing the old, damaged valve. The new valve is placed inside the diseased valve. Patients who cannot tolerate surgery for aortic valve replacement may be good candidates for a less invasive approach called TAVI or TAVR.

Learn about heart procedures and surgeries, such as stent, Angioplasty, PCI, CABG, minimally invasive CABG, Laser Angioplasty, Artificial Heart Valve Surgery, Atherectomy, Bypass Surgery, Heart Transplant, Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery, Radiofrequency Ablation, Transmyocardial Revascularization.
The Ross procedure, a surgery in which the abnormal aortic valve is removed and replaced by the child's own pulmonary valve. Then the pulmonary valve is replaced with a preserved donor pulmonary valve.
The goal of heart valve surgery is to correct the valve disorder, reduce or eliminate symptoms, lengthen life and improve the quality of life. Repair or Replace? It's generally best to repair a valve and preserve a person’s own heart tissue when possible.
Aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the aortic valve opening that restricts blood flow out of the heart, requires careful monitoring and often surgery or other intervention to replace the valve. Here are some of the health care professionals who will treat or help you manage the condition:
