TL;DR: Allograft aortic valve replacement was pioneered by two surgeons, Donald Ross himself in London and Sir Brian Barratt-Boyes in Auckland, New Zealand, independently of each other in 1962.

Abstract: The search for the ideal substitute for the diseased aortic valve led Donald Ross to develop the concept of the aortic allograft and pulmonary autograft for subcoronary implantation in the 1960s and in the early 1970s as a full root to replace aortic roots with abscesses [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Allograft aortic valve replacement was pioneered by two surgeons, Mr. Donald Ross himself in London and Sir Brian Barratt-Boyes in Auckland, New Zealand, independently of each other in 1962 [1, 6].

Homograft replacement of the aortic valve.
TL;DR: In the Research Laboratory, organ transplantation in the small animal has been made possible by these techniques and the immunology of kidney transplantation is being studied in various centres using inbred strains of rats.

TL;DR: VINP-28 allows noninvasive imaging of VCAM-1–expressing endothelial cells and macrophages in atherosclerosis and spatial monitoring of anti-VCAM- 1 pharmacotherapy in vivo and identifies inflammatory cells in human atheromata, suggesting this clinically translatable agent could noninvasively detect inflammation in early, subclinical Atherosclerosis.

TL;DR: The Ross procedure provides satisfactory results for both children and young adults, and durability limitations become apparent by the end of the first postoperative decade, in particular in younger patients.
