Abstract
Surgical palliation of many types of congenital heart defects requires the use of a conduit between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. Dissections of these conduits are very infrequent. We report a case of a ten-year-old girl who developed acute right heart failure related to a Contegra conduit dissection. She underwent a new conduit replacement on an emergency basis.Entities:
