Ross Confers More Favorable Left Ventricular Remodeling Compared With Mechanical Aortic Valve Replacement.

Aortic valve disease results in left ventricular (LV) dilation and/or hypertrophy. Valve intervention may improve, but not normalize flow dynamics. We hypothesized that LV remodeling would be more favorable following the Ross procedure versus mechanical aortic valve replacement (mAVR).
