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.
用于小儿患者右心室流出道重建的理想管道仍然是一个讨论的话题。我们介绍了一种手工构建三尖瓣带瓣聚四氟乙烯管道的技术,用于在先天性心脏手术时需要进行右心室流出道重建的所有年龄段的患者。与同种异体移植物相比,这种管道在全球范围内提供了一种经济上有利且易于获得的选择,而不会牺牲手术结果。
