Ross Procedure for Aortic Valve Replacement

The Ross procedure, or the switch or pulmonary autograft procedure, is a cardiac surgery in which a diseased aortic valve is replaced with the patient’s pulmonary valve. This is followed by replacing the pulmonary valve with a pulmonary allograft. The Ross procedure was first developed in the late 1960s and has been performed many times. It is the only operation that allows for an aortic valve replacement with a living valve substitute. This activity describes the indications, contraindications, and steps involved in the Ross procedure and highlights the interprofessional team’s role in managing patients with aortic valve disease.
