OBJECTIVES Our goal was to determine the range of perioperative mortality rates associated with the Ross procedure that results in a life expectancy similar to that seen with mechanical aortic valve replacement (mAVR) in young patients with aortic valve disease. METHODS A fully probabilistic Markov microsimulation model with 1000 outer loops and 10000 inner loops was constructed to compare gain in life expectancy and quality-adjusted life years between the index treatment with the Ross procedure versus mAVR for a theoretical cohort of young patients with aortic valve disease. Inputs for early deaths and late complications (death, stroke, bleeding, reoperation) were obtained from a single-centre study of 208 propensity score matched patients. In the primary analysis, the perioperative mortality rate for the Ross procedure was varied by increments of 0.5% to determine its impact on life expectancy and quality-adjusted life years. A 2-way sensitivity analysis was conducted to determine simultaneously the impact of the Ross reoperation rate and Ross reoperative mortality rate on life expectancy. RESULTS Life expectancy was improved with the Ross procedure when the perioperative mortality rate with the Ross procedure was <2.5% and was equivalent to mAVR when the mortality rate was 2.5% to 5%. Similarly, when the perioperative mortality rate of the Ross procedure was between 4% and 5.5%, the quality-adjusted life years gained were similar between the Ross procedure and mAVR. Life expectancy was improved when the Ross procedure reoperative mortality rate was <7% at an incidence of Ross reoperations of 18% at 20years. CONCLUSIONS Improved life expectancy can be expected with the Ross procedure when the operative mortality rate is less than 2.5%.
