BACKGROUND: The reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in @entity299 has attracted the interest of cardiac surgeons determined to alleviate the anatomic obstruction and restore RV function. METHODS: From June 1991 to September 2008, 203 consecutive @entity1 (mean, 3.0 years; range, 2 months to 35 years) underwent operations. These @entity1 were classified into 5 groups: group 1, @entity215 with @entity358 (144 cases, 70.9%); group 2, @entity1146 ( @entity1146 ) with @entity1757 ( @entity1757 ) (32 cases, 15.7%); group 3, truncus arteriosus (12 cases, 5.9%); group 4, transposition of the great arteries with left ventricular outflow tract obstructions (8 cases, 3.9%); and group 5, @entity1146 with intact ventricular septum (7 cases, 3.4%). Remodeling surgery of the RV consisted of patch closure of the @entity1757 (n = 176), tricuspid valvoplasty repair (n = 25), infundibulum muscle resection, and reconstruction of the RVOT (all @entity1 ). The Lecompte procedure was performed in 8 @entity1 in group 4, and the one and a half ventricle technique was performed in 7 @entity1 in group 5. RESULTS: There were 21 hospital deaths (10.3%); 180 @entity1 (88.6%) survived. @entity1 were followed up from 4 to 206 months (mean, 98.0 months). Sixteen @entity1 (8.8%) underwent reoperation for prosthesis dysfunction, with 2 in-hospital deaths (12.5%). The rest of the @entity1 (164, 80.7%) remain free of reoperation. CONCLUSION: Earlier reconstruction of the pulmonary valve and the RVOT may preserve ventricular performance for a long period. Nevertheless, the porcine pulmonary prosthesis has shown satisfactory results when it has been used for the reconstruction of different types of @entity3885 .
