Inspecting the Pulmonary Valve During the Ross Procedure

https://www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com - The Ross procedure is a highly specialized aortic valve replacement surgery that involves moving the patient's pulmonary valve to the aortic position. But before this can happen, surgeons must carefully inspect the pulmonary valve to ensure it is suitable for long-term function in the high-pressure system on the left side of the heart. To learn more about this critical step, we spoke with Dr. William Brinkman, a leading aortic valve surgeon at Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital in Plano, Texas. Dr. Brinkman explains how surgeons evaluate the pulmonary valve both before and during surgery to determine if it is a good candidate for the Ross procedure. In this video, Dr. Brinkman discusses: How echocardiograms and CT scans help assess the pulmonary valve before surgery Why some pulmonary valves may not be suitable for the aortic position What surgeons look for during real-time inspection in the operating room Why about 10% of patients may not proceed with the Ross operation after surgical evaluation How surgeons make game-time decisions to ensure the best long-term outcome If you would like to schedule an appointment or seek a second opinion with Dr. Brinkman, please call (888) 644-7728 or visit https://www.heart-valve-surgery.com/s....
