I am 57 years old, male. My aortic valve is severe stenotic (AVA = 0.6cm²) and is insufficient. My aortic root is dilated (42mm). My ascending aorta is dilated (53.5mm). I have hypertrophy of the left ventricle. I have no co-morbidities. Am I a candidate for the Ross heart procedure? Can someone guide me to a website concerning this question?

Marie Myers Several people on this site have had the Ross procedure, including the site founder Adam Pick. Hopefully they will see your post and direct you to some information. Under the “learning center tab” at the top there may be some information.
For patients facing aortic valve replacement, the options leading up to surgery can be overwhelming. Learn more about the Ross Procedure.

Allen Carkner Could be a candidate, would need to talk to the surgeon fora decision. I had a Ross done at Keck Medicine of USC, Dr Vaughn Starnes in March this year. They were great. Highly recommend them. Otherwise there are a number of valve centers in the US that do them with adequately high surgical volume. Best of luck!
