Long-Term Outcomes of a Standardized Ross Procedure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study follows patients who are having a Ross procedure (a type of heart valve surgery) at select hospitals. Researchers will track their health outcomes over a long period to understand how well the surgery works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies a surgery approach to help fix a narrowed or leaking aortic valve in children. It aims to see how well the reconstructed valve works and how it affects the child’s heart function over time.
This study follows people who have aortic valve treatment to better predict how they will do in the long term. It may help doctors understand what outcomes to expect after the procedure and improve future care.
This study tests an early, first-use version of a new pulmonary valve device for children whose own valve is not working well. It may help improve blood flow from the heart to the lungs and aims to learn how safe and effective the valve is over time.
This study compares MRI scans to CT scans for following up patients who had the Ross procedure (a type of heart valve surgery) using the 'loose jacket' technique. The goal is to see if MRI can successfully replace CT, avoiding the radiation and dye used in CT scans.
This study follows adults who are having aortic valve replacement (through surgery or a catheter) to see how often certain outcomes happen after the procedure. You may be asked for blood tests and scans at set times, and some people may also be offered a special CT scan.
This trial studies how well the heart's main pumping chamber (left ventricle) recovers after surgery to fix a leaky aortic valve. It is for people who also have a leaky mitral valve and an enlarged left ventricle, and who are having their first planned valve surgery.
