Valley is One of Few Centers in the U . S . to Offer the Ross Procedure for Aortic Valve Disease
Damaged aortic valves are traditionally replaced with either a mechanical or bioprosthetic valve . The Valley Heart and Vascular Institute now offers an alternative called the Ross procedure that uses the patient ’ s own pulmonic valve .
This technique , now being performed at Valley , offers patients a lifelong solution for aortic valve replacement without the need for blood thinning medication .
For more information about the Ross procedure , please visit ValleyHealth . com / RossProcedure .
Valley cardiovascular surgeon Habib Jabagi , MD , ( pictured ) performed the first Ross procedure at Valley .
