I had my Ross procedure in June, a month ago. I experienced complications about five days after being discharged, which turned out to be a stomach ulcer caused by medication. This required another five-day hospital stay. At 31 years old, I expected to return to normal life quickly, but it seems it will take some more time. I'm currently at home and feeling better day by day. However, I still experience palpitations occasionally, even after 40 days. Hopefully, they will go away soon.

Had the Ross Procedure done on September 1 and due to complications the surgery took longer than expected and I was in the hospital for 5 weeks, of which 4 of those weeks I was in ICU. Within 5 weeks after I got out, I was back on my feet without the aid of a walker or cane. No, I did not get rehab (therapy) after my release. I progressed at my own pace.

Great video! Ross procedure looks like a great option for someone as it last longer. Sounds like around 20 years. One thing that I do not think was addressed is the second Ross procedure. It does not sound like he accounted for that in his comparisons which is fine for someone that only needs a valve for 20 years but for those that need it longer you need a second Ross. This is a more risky second surgery as Arnold found out as you need to replace both valves and doing TAVR and replacing pulmonary valve is not as well established.

Nice discussion but not a word about the implanted new pulmonary valve. While one might ignore this issue given the long term surgical statistical outcomes, it would be useful to better understand what was implanted and the consequences of that new valve.

Fascinating!

First, how easy would it be to get a copy of the report that Dr. el-Hamamsy made reference to in this video? If I am going to have surgery in regards to the AVR, I might be able to let the attending surgeon read up on this info. Second, why complicate the surgery by moving the pulmonary valve over and using donor valve in place of the pulmonary when and if the donor valve can go straight into the aortic position. This 2nd question would make an interesting topic for further study.
