The Ross procedure is an old surgical technique that is gaining popularity some 30 years after its introduction. The patient's own pulmonary valve is essentially used as a "spare part" to replace the diseased aortic valve. The Ross procedure has become an accepted and attractive option for patients with a life expectancy of more than 20 years and for patients in whom long-term treatment with anticoagulants is undesirable or problematic. Careful preoperative evaluation and postoperative management, as well as proficient surgical techniques, are all necessary to achieve good outcomes.
