https://www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com - The Ross procedure is one of the most technically demanding aortic valve replacement operations. Establishing a successful Ross Procedure Program requires time, expertise, and a dedicated team to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients.

To provide insights into how a cardiac center builds and refines its Ross Program, we spoke with Dr. Christopher Burke, a leading aortic valve surgeon at UW Medicine Heart Institute in Seattle, Washington. Dr. Burke shares the key factors behind the evolution of his program and how his team continues to improve patient care at UW Medicine.

In this video, Dr. Burke discusses:

- Why a high-volume heart valve program is essential for achieving great outcomes
- The importance of a dedicated surgical and intensive care unit (ICU) team in Ross Procedures
- How perioperative care, blood pressure control, and echocardiogram surveillance impact success
- The role of collaboration with other Ross centers through the North American Ross Consortium
- Why continuous learning and self-critique are vital to improving long-term patient outcomes
