Abstract
Key Words Ross procedure; survival; age difference; hemodynamics Abstract Background The Ross procedure offers several advantages in nonelderly adults; however, the optimal age cutoff remains undetermined. The aim of this study was to compare the safety and mid-term outcomes after the Ross procedure in adult patients age [less than or equal to]50 years and those age >50 years. Methods Between 2011 and 2019, 497 consecutive patients (mean age, 47 [plus or minus] 12 years; 73% male) underwent a Ross procedure in 5 Canadian centers and were followed prospectively. Of these patients, 232 (47%) were age >50 years (mean, 57 [plus or minus] 4 years) and 265 (53%) were age [less than or equal to]50 years (mean, 38 [plus or minus] 10 years). Early and mid-term outcomes were compared between the 2 groups. Results Patients age >50 years had more comorbidities: diabetes (14% vs 4%; P < .01), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (8% vs 2%; P < .01), and coronary artery disease (17% vs 3%; P < .01). In contrast, patients age [less than or equal to]50 years had more redo surgeries (24% vs 8%; P < .01), pure aortic regurgitation (21% vs 6%; P < .01) and unicuspid valves (42% vs 9%; P 50 years: 0.7 [plus or minus] 0.7%; [less than or equal to]50 years: 4 [plus or minus] 2%; P = .12). Survival at 6 years was 98 [plus or minus] 2% in patient age >50 years versus 96 [plus or minus] 2% in those age [less than or equal to]50 years (P = .43), similar to the age- and sex-matched general population. Conclusions The Ross procedure is a safe operation in patients age >50 years and provides excellent hemodynamics, stable valve function, and restored survival at mid-term follow-up. In expert centers, it should be considered as an alternative in selected patients age >50 years.
