What is the Ross Procedure (or pulmonary autograft for aortic valve replacement)? A Ross Procedure is using the pulmonary valve to replace a diseased or defective aortic valve. A pulmonary homograft (from a human donor) is used to replace the childâs own pulmonary valve. An autograft is used for the aortic valve. The Ross Procedure is the preferred method for aortic valve replacement in children and young adults. It provides the potential for growth in children and does not require the use of blood thinners, a major disadvantage of artificial valves.
