Has anyone had the ross procedure at Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN? My aortic valve gradient is 39 mmHg and severe is 40 so they are now discussing a valve replacement. I had surgery 6 years ago for a valve repair. We are thinking about going with the ross procedure. How long did your ross last? How long was the surgery? How was recovery. Im 25 years old and this will be my 2nd surgery.

Sorry I never had a valve replacement but it sounds o.k .to me. Hope I helped
