Hand-Made Polytetrafluoroethylene Tricuspid-Valved Conduit for Surgical Reconstruction of the Right Ventricular Outflow Tract in a Child With Truncus Arteriosus

Although a new right ventricle outflow can be introduced during pulmonary artery reconstruction, it is a suboptimal option as the valved conduits that mimic the natural right ventricular outflow do not grow, and a surgical conduit replacement cannot be averted. This study reported the implementation...

Sumario:Although a new right ventricle outflow can be introduced during pulmonary artery reconstruction, it is a suboptimal option as the valved conduits that mimic the natural right ventricular outflow do not grow, and a surgical conduit replacement cannot be averted. This study reported the implementation of hand-made polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tricuspid-valved conduits to rebuild the right ventricular outflow tract in toddlers with truncus arteriosus and risk factors for earlier conduit explant. Herein, we described a case report of a 9-month-old toddler diagnosed in November 2021 with truncus arteriosus type I with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and severe pulmonary arterial hypertension, who has been successfully discharged 20-days postoperative surgical reconstruction with good bi-ventricular functions. Hand-made PTFE tricuspid-valved conduits are efficient in the reconstruction process of the right ventricular outflow tract in children with truncus arteriosus. The conduits are cheap, easily available, and lack potential sensitization.
