Abstract
Half a century after the first pulmonary autograft operation (Ross operation), performed in 1967 by Donald Ross in central London, there is a very strong conviction that the Ross operation is the best available valve substitute today, not only for children, but also for younger and older adults. The Ross operation has stimulated a lot of science to do with tissue-engineering and biology of heart valves, which is a promising avenue for the future. For one of us (M.Y.), it has certainly been a privilege to be associated with the comeback of the Ross operation.
期刊介绍:
The Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Annual is a companion to Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery . Together with the Seminars, the Annual provides complete coverage of the specialty by focusing on important developments in pediatric cardiac surgery. Each annual volume has an expert guest editor who invites prominent surgeons to review the areas of greatest change in pediatric cardiac surgery during the year. Topics include 1) Complete Atrioventricular Canal; 2) New Concepts of Cardiac Anatomy and Function -- The Helical Heart; 3) Valve Reconstruction (Replacement) in Congenital Heart Disease; 4) Evolving Developments in Congenital Heart Surgery.
