Abstract:
Pulmonary valve replacement is a relatively uncommon operation in adults, with the exception of those patients operated on previously for congenital heart disease. We present a technique for pulmonary valve replacement and right ventricular outflow tract augmentation. It has been utilized in over 50 consecutive patients. This technique is simple, effective, and easily reproducible. The postoperative hemodynamics, echocardiographic data, and outcomes have been excellent.
