Long-Term Follow-up After the Autograft Aortic Valve Procedure (Ross Operation)

Germany1,800 participantsStarted 2001-01

Plain-language summary

With the current knowledge of aortic valve replacement modalities, no specific recommendations can be given and the decision for a particular prosthesis or procedure is rather arbitrarily. The investigators hypothesize that the autograft procedure according to Ross is superior in terms of hemodynamic (especially regression of left ventricular hypertrophy) and major adverse valve related events even in a long-term course
