Long-term outcomes of the Ross procedure for aortic valve replacement
Official title: Prospective Long-Term Outcomes of a Standardized Ross Procedure
Run by Baylor Research Institute · NCT06352671 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at how well the Ross procedure, which uses a person's own valve to replace a damaged aortic valve, works over the long term for patients needing heart surgery.

What this trial studies
This observational study analyzes the long-term outcomes of the Ross procedure, which replaces a diseased aortic valve with a patient's own pulmonary valve. It aims to gather data from multiple centers to identify best practices for stabilizing the autograft and reconstructing the right ventricular outflow tract. The study addresses the uncertainties surrounding aortic valve replacement options and seeks to reaffirm the benefits of the Ross procedure compared to traditional methods. By focusing on a multicenter cohort, it aims to provide robust evidence on the safety and efficacy of this surgical approach.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide evidence supporting the Ross procedure as a superior option for long-term aortic valve replacement, potentially improving patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Recent publications from expert centers have shown promising outcomes for the Ross procedure, suggesting that this approach is gaining recognition and support in the medical community.
