From October 1993 through August 1994, 21 patients underwent Ross procedures. In the first 12 patients bleeding and/or sequelae resulted in three deaths. In the subsequent nine patients, we modified the technique to prevent bleeding from the raw area of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) without further mortality. This is described in detail.
