https://www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com - The Ross procedure is a highly effective surgical option for aortic valve replacement, particularly for younger patients looking for a long-term solution that avoids lifelong anticoagulation. But who are the best candidates for this complex procedure?

To help answer this question, we spoke with Dr. Craig Baker, Chief of Cardiac Surgery at the Keck School of Medicine at USC in Los Angeles, California. With extensive experience performing the Ross procedure, Dr. Baker shares key insights into who may qualify for this surgery and who might be better suited for other treatment options.

In this video, Dr. Baker discusses:

- The ideal age range for Ross procedure candidates
- Why younger patients, including women of childbearing age, may benefit
- The importance of having a normal pulmonary valve for the procedure
- Why the Ross procedure is not recommended for patients with certain health conditions including coronary artery disease
- Key factors to consider when choosing a surgical center and surgeon for this complex operation
