Case series demonstrates safety and growth in transplanted valves for congenital heart disease, suggesting new surgical options.

Partial heart transplant shows safety and efficacy, promoting valve growth in congenital heart disease patients.
Among 19 patients, all valves functioned well with significant growth, evidenced by increases in annular diameter and leaflet length.
Surgical approach involved living valve replacement using semilunar valves, maintaining immunosuppression with tacrolimus.
Successful outcomes point to the potential expansion of partial heart transplant techniques for pediatric populations.

Overbey et al. (2025) studied this question.
