ROSS Surgery in Turkey
The Ross Procedure is often very effective for treating damaged aortic valves. The aortic valve handles all the blood being pumped back out to the body. The patient’s pulmonary valve is similarly shaped and can usually be “swapped out” with the damaged aortic valve.
The pulmonary valve is usually under less stress because the right pumping chamber doesn’t need to generate as much force to push blood to the lungs. A replacement valve can be more likely to succeed in the pulmonary position because demand on this valve is less. Pulmonary valve replaced with a donor valve.
Most of the time, symptoms improve soon after surgery.
