Optimized outcome of the Ross procedure in children: single-centre experience
The Ross procedure in children demonstrated excellent long-term outcomes with low autograft reintervention rates in both groups. Reinforcement was associated with improved long-term survival while autograft-related reinterventions did not differ significantly between groups. Older age at Ross and homograft use correlated with lower RV-PA reintervention risk. Multicentre evaluation of reinforcement techniques is required to assess the outcome differences observed in this single-centre experience.
