Preoperative diagnoses included rheumatic disease (n = 5), congenital mitral valve (MV) pathology (partial atrioventricular canal defect [n = 2], complete atrioventricular canal defect [n = 1], Shone's complex [n = 1]), and myocarditis (n = 1).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ten patients (eight females and two males) between 7 months and 46 years were included. Mean age at surgery was 25.2 \u00b1 15.7 years. There were no in-hospital deaths. Mean follow-up was 11.7 \u00b1 5.2 years. There were three late deaths at 11 months, 5 years, and 11 years, respectively. Causes of death included right heart failure, sepsis, and sudden cardiac arrest. Three patients required subsequent mechanical MVR a median of two years after the Ross II procedure (range: 1-4 years). There was no mortality with reoperation. Echocardiographic follow-up demonstrated mean MV gradients ranging from 2.2 to 9.6 mm Hg. Two patients had greater than mild MV regurgitation postoperatively, and all others had minimal mitral regurgitation or less. Two patients developed moderate MV stenosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Ross II procedure is an option for select older children and young adults desiring a durable tissue MVR to avoid long-term anticoagulation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/2150135118792196","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,16]],"date-time":"2018-10-16T00:43:33Z","timestamp":1539650613000},"page":"645-650","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Pulmonary Autograft Mitral Valve Replacement (Ross II): Long-Term Follow-Up of a US Center"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3785-5470","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Blitzer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeremy L.","family":"Herrmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN, USA"},{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health, Indianapolis, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John W.","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN, USA"},{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health, Indianapolis, IN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2150135118792196","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(67)90794-5"},{"key":"bibr2-2150135118792196","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.athoracsur.2005.08.028"},{"key":"bibr3-2150135118792196","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtcvs.2007.05.056"},{"key":"bibr4-2150135118792196","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtcvs.2008.11.063"},{"issue":"5","key":"bibr5-2150135118792196","first-page":"542","volume":"6","author":"Ross DN","year":"1997","journal-title":"J Heart Valve Dis"},{"key":"bibr6-2150135118792196","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1010-7940(01)00814-4"},{"key":"bibr7-2150135118792196","first-page":"306","volume":"54","author":"Elkins RC","year":"1999","journal-title":"Contemporary Surg"},{"issue":"7","key":"bibr8-2150135118792196","first-page":"523","volume":"68","author":"Kawahito T","year":"2015","journal-title":"Kyobu Geka"},{"key":"bibr9-2150135118792196","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtcvs.2011.01.049"},{"key":"bibr10-2150135118792196","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.athoracsur.2003.11.057"},{"key":"bibr11-2150135118792196","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-4975(01)02731-X"},{"key":"bibr12-2150135118792196","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-4975(03)01657-6"},{"key":"bibr13-2150135118792196","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtcvs.2013.10.059"},{"key":"bibr14-2150135118792196","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtcvs.2016.07.017"},{"key":"bibr15-2150135118792196","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.athoracsur.2015.12.076"}],"container-title":["World Journal for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/2150135118792196","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/2150135118792196","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/2150135118792196","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,30]],"date-time":"2026-04-30T23:21:47Z","timestamp":1777591307000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/2150135118792196"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,15]]},"references-count":15,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/2150135118792196"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/2150135118792196","relation":{},"ISSN":["2150-1351","2150-136X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2150-1351","type":"print"},{"value":"2150-136X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,15]]}}}
