Course Description
After reading this article, the learner should be able to:
- recognize that neonates and infants <1 year of age have a significantly higher operative mortality than those children >1 year of age at the time of the Ross procedure.
- recognize that age <1 year at the time of Ross procedure is a risk factor for later autograft reoperation.
- recognize that children >1 year of age at the time of the Ross procedure have a lower incidence over time for the development of aortic insufficiency than children <1 year of age at the time of the Ross operation.
- recognize that the use of a PDS band for stabilization of the sinotubular ridge at the time of the Ross procedure can be protective against later aortic insufficiency.
