Symptomatic patients should undergo valve replacement or balloon valvotomy. Valve replacement is indicated for virtually all who can tolerate surgery. In younger patients, the patient’s own pulmonic valve can be used, providing good durability; a bioprosthesis is then used to replace the pulmonic valve (Ross procedure). Most often, the aortic valve is replaced with a mechanical or bioprosthetic valve. Preoperative evaluation for CAD is indicated so that CABG and valve replacement, if indicated, can be done during the same procedure.
Please see Google search for more details on Ross Procedure.
