Ross Procedure in Neonate and Infant Populations: A Meta-Analysis Review.

The data suggest that the Ross/Ross-Konno procedure in neonates/infants still carries significant risk of early/late mortality and autograft/conduit reintervention. The high variability of results among centers confirms the need for surgical expertise and good patient selection. Prospective multicenter studies are warranted to investigate the rate of autograft reintervention and the impact on long-term survival in this specific population.
