Thank you..

Thank you for your reply, will let you know when i get my answhere from the surgeon aboit the technique. Also the best of luck for you the comming period. My three mounths of waiting where pretty hard and stressful, how is that with you..?

That are some good questions, all i know is that the hospital is one off the best ones in the Netherlands and that the surgeon is the head of that hospital. He normaly does children (baby's and older), so he has got alot of experience with the Ross. All those other questions about size and all...

Thats a good question, and i do not realy know.... What i have been told is that they use the material that they get from the other valve, so that looks like the autologous technique..? The surgeon told me that they use this technique for the main reason that the valve can not descent in the...

Hi, i am getting my Ross done 19 december. Thought it over and over but believe it is the least negative procedure for me personaly. I am 45 years old, no other fysical problems. Doing alot of sports and during my work having alot of fysical agression. So i am a little afreight for the need of...

I was 25 when they discovered my aneurysm and it was around 46mm, now after 20 years its 49mm and they still would whait with surger was it not that my valve is realy bad now and need to be replaced soon. So i would not stress that mutch. Normal they will do something when its bigger then 50mm...

I am sorry but dont understand. You asked what is new about it and i explaned that they make the valve stronger so it will not expand. Thats about it, Best wishes to you too

I am sorry but i am not an investor and dont have that data. Somebody asked what is new with the ross prucedure. And that is that they secure the valve so it can not extand.

The pressure from the aortic will make the homograft last shorter. The own tissue valve is the best and strongest option between biological and homograft (not mechanical with is stronger ofcourse). The diolation was a problem and the reason the hospitals stoped doing it. My surgeon (with others...

The homograft is in a place where it doesnt have to work as hard as in the aortic valve place. So it will last longer. The replaced valve will put in a stend before it will be placed in the aortic place (thats the new technique. So it is impossible to expand. The stend will also be used for my...

Hi, good to read your story. I am getting my ross done half december. People asking what is diffirent then before. My docter told me that they work with the valve to make it stronger before replacing and so it can not diolate. That is a new technique and make the valve function at least 25 years...
