The Ross procedure is a complex operation designed to replace a diseased or damaged aortic valve. This unique surgery relies on a patient’s own existing tissue, the pulmonary valve, to replace the aortic valve rather than using an artificial valve.

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is a well-established therapy for treating AF, but performing PVI in patients with known LAA thrombus is contraindicated. Cerebral protection devices (CPDs) are routinely used to capture and remove thrombus/debris during transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedures.

This is the aortic valve in closed position and mitral valve also appears to be closed in position.
