Abstract:
This article describes a modified technique of side-to-side proximal connection of a conduit during heterotopic implantation in the right ventricular outflow tract. It results in a better geometry of the right ventricular outflow and avoids distortion of the valve annulus, especially when the newer generation of straight xenografts are used.
