Overview

Supports homograft RVOT reconstruction in young patients; leaves open tailored surveillance for discordant anatomy.

Structured PICO

What are the medium-term outcomes of right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction with homografts in children and young adults?

P
Population
90 children and young adults with right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstructions (61 with ventriculo-arterial [VA] concordance, 18 with VA discordance, 11 with truncus arteriosus). 52% were reoperations.
I
Intervention
Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction with aortic or pulmonary homografts
O
Outcome
Hospital mortality, late mortality, reoperation, and echocardiographic outcomes (gradient and pulmonary regurgitation)hard clinical

RVOT reconstruction with cryopreserved homografts shows excellent medium-term performance in young patients, though those with VA discordance require close follow-up.

Limitations

  • Medium-term follow-up only, longer-term follow-up necessary to confirm superiority over porcine xenografts
