Reconstruction of Right Ventricular Outflow Tract by Pedicled Pericardial Valved Conduit

A modification of the Rastelli technique using a pedicled autologous pericardial valved conduit was performed on 3 patients aged 10 months to 3 years. Two patients in whom a prosthetic gusset was not used or was partially used showed good recovery during the follow-up period (3 months to 3 years). T...

Zusammenfassung:	A modification of the Rastelli technique using a pedicled autologous pericardial valved conduit was performed on 3 patients aged 10 months to 3 years. Two patients in whom a prosthetic gusset was not used or was partially used showed good recovery during the follow-up period (3 months to 3 years). The pedicled autologous pericardial conduit may be expected to increase its diameter with physical growth.
