Cardiac Innovation: The Reverse Ross Procedure

The Ross procedure is a well-established option for aortic valve replacement, offering excellent durability for younger patients. But what happens when a Ross operation requires re-operation? Enter the Reverse Ross Procedure, an innovative surgical approach that preserves the patient’s living valve while restoring function. To learn more about this unique technique, we spoke with Dr. Eric Roselli, Chief of Adult Cardiac Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. Dr. Roselli explains how the Reverse Ross can be used as a lifelong management strategy for patients who previously had the Ross procedure. (Video posted on July 28, 2025)
