Abstract:
We report a rare case of isolated pulmonary stenosis in a 66-year-old woman. The patient underwent successful pulmonary valve replacement with a stentless bioprosthetic valve. The pulmonary valve was exposed with a longitudinal incision from the right ventricular outflow tract to the pulmonary trunk. The proximal posterior part of the bioprosthetic valve was anastomosed to the pulmonary valve annulus and the distal side was anastomosed to the pulmonary artery with an inclusion technique. The defect from the pulmonary artery to the right ventricular outflow tract was closed using an equine pericardium patch. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course.
