We present a modification of the Ross procedure, to help reduce the risk of late pulmonary artery wall dilatation. The strength of this modified technique is its composite graft construction, consisting of a pulmonary valve autograft inserted in a Dacron tube. This composite graft can be used either as a free graft or a mini-root implant.
