Popis: We aimed to determine outcomes for the Ross procedure in paediatric and adult patients, with particular emphasis on survival, complication and reintervention rates. A retrospective review of 101 patients who had the Ross procedure in a congenital cardiac surgical centre serving a population of approximately 2.5 million was performed. There were 69 adults and 32 children with a mean age of 24.8 ± 13.9 years. Indications for surgery were aortic stenosis (48), regurgitation (10), mixed disease (35) and complex left outflow tract obstruction (8). The mean follow-up duration was 4.7 ± 3.7 years. The mini-inclusion technique was used to incorporate the autograft, and in all cases, pulmonary homografts were placed in the right ventricular outflow tract. Sub-aortic resection was also performed in six and Ross–Konno operations in eight patients. There were no early deaths and there was one late death secondary to endocarditis. Freedom from reintervention was 92% at 5 years and 77% at 10 years. Children were significantly more likely to require reintervention (16%, 5 of 32 versus 4%, 3 of 69, P = 0.05). The Ross procedure carries low early and mid-term mortality, and reintervention rates appear acceptable. The Ross procedure should be considered a feasible alternative to prosthetic valves in patients who require aortic valve replacement.
