Implication

Hypothesis-generating for cusp-bearing homograft patch in Fallot repair; larger prospective studies needed before wider use.

Structured PICO

Population

4 patients with Fallot's tetralogy and pulmonary valvular stenosis

Intervention

Surgical technique using a cusp-bearing homograft patch (composed of aortic cusps, a portion of ascending aorta, and the anterior mitral leaflet) to widen the hypoplastic pulmonary artery ring and right ventricular outflow tract

Outcome

Survival and pulmonary valve competencehard clinical

The use of a cusp-bearing homograft patch is a feasible surgical technique for widening the pulmonary artery ring in Fallot's tetralogy while maintaining pulmonary valve competence.
