Abstract

© 2025The ROSS-PEARS describes the addition of a Personalized External Aortic Root Support to the pulmonary autograft in the aortic position. It is well documented that the vulnerability of the free root Ross is autograft dilatation, and various techniques have been described to prophylactically manage this. A bespoke PEARS prosthesis supporting the autograft when performing an elective Ross in patients with adult size aortic root may avoid such vulnerability. Here we describe our indications, rationale and technical considerations.
