The Ross procedure has received increasing interest as an attractive alternative to a prosthetic aortic valve. Given its presumably greater resistance to infection, the pulmonary autograft is theoretically preferable for active endocarditis. The objective of this retrospective study was to present our experience in aortic valve endocarditis treated using the Ross procedure.
