Abstract
The ideal conduit for reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract in pediatric patients remains a topic of discussion. We present a technique for construction of a handmade tricuspid valved polytetrafluoroethylene conduit for use in patients of all ages requiring right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction at the time of congenital cardiac surgery. This conduit provides an economically advantageous and readily available option globally when compared with homograft, without sacrificing surgical results.Entities:
