Nothing seems to be easy in this life. We, my wife and I have been waiting to get married and to have kids. When we finally did it, another problem occurred. My wife was diagnosed with aortic stenosis, high degree and she is needed for surgery. Her doctor recommended Ross procedure. Does someone have information about this procedure?
I read about this procedure in some scientific magazine. I will tell you what I have had remembered. This procedure is called by scientist who had invented it, Dr. Donald Ross. It is used to help people with aortic valve is replaced with his/hers pulmonary valve. You will probably ask now, what happens with pulmonary valve? In her space they put crypreserved cadaveric pulmonary valve. Benefits of this procedure are that does not require anticoagulative medicines for therapy, witch is not allowed in pregnancy.
