What are success rates of ross procedures for aortic valve?is it suitable for mitral valve also?

Very high success: In good hands, the Ross procedure is successful in terms of longevity for congenital AS. No, this procedure is not suitable for mitral valve because it is not a semi-lunar valve. Aortic and pulmonic valves are both tri-leaflet (semi-lunar valves) and hence the Ross procedure works.

Ross Procedure: also called the switch procedure; the pulmonary valve and the tissue around it (to your right) is cut and replaces the aortic valve (to the left) and vice versa. 90% freedom from re- operation in 10 years. The same thing cannot be done for mitral valve because it has a different anatomy and location.

Good for aorta: overall the success rate with the Ross proceedure is approaching 99% and long term results have been excellant, with more than 80% of the patients alive after 20 yrs and fewer than 15 % needing furter proccedures-------this also depends on the skill level of the surgeon that is doing the procceedure---choose wisely--;)---- -- no data on the mitral valve with above proceedure---- good luck ;)
