About this trial

Patients who underwent Ross procedure with loose jacket technique will be enrolled in this study and undergo CT and MRI follow-up to compare between both modalities.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

All patients who underwent Ross procedure with loose jacket technique at Aswan Heart Centre, regardless of the indication and duration after surgery.

Patients should have survived until discharge and underwent at least one echocardiography with full data related to one or more anatomic subcomponents of the aortic root before surgery.

Disqualifiers

Patients who have contraindication for conducting cardiac CT scan. For instance, dye sensitivity, pregnancy, CKD, in addition to patients who have factors that interfere with CT image quality as metallic objects within the chest (e.g. Pacemaker).

Patients who have contra-indication for conducting a safe MRI scan. For instance, metallic implants that are incompatible with MRI.

Patients who underwent Ross procedure with technique other than loose jacket.
