Dear Mark
As far as I know, the Ross procedure is not being done by a minimally invasive approach. It is a complicated surgical procedure, and I do no think that it is well-suited to a minimally invasive approach. Aortic valve repairs and replacements can often be done by a minimally invasive approach. This may be preferable to a Ross procedure.
I hope this has been useful. Feel free to write back with further questions. Good luck.
