MRSA endocarditis of bovine Contegra valved conduit: a case report
BACKGROUND Different techniques are used for the right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction, including homo- or porcine xenografts, which have several limitations. Contegra, a bovine jugular vein graft, is an interesting alternative to overcome these limitations. It consists of a bovine jugular vein with a naturally integrated valve in it. Isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis is extremely ...
متن کاملThe Contegra valved bovine conduit: a biomaterial for the surgical treatment of congenital heart defects.
Contegra, a bovine jugular vein graft, has been widely used as a preferable biomaterial in the surgical treatment of congenital heart defects, especially as a conduit for the right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction. This article aims to make a comprehensive review on the clinical outcomes of Contegra. Reports of Contegra published since 2002 were comprehensively retrieved, collected and ...
متن کاملImages in cardiovascular medicine: right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction with contegra bovine valved conduit.
A 11-year-old boy affected by truncus arteriosus (type 1) underwent a late complete repair in another institution. The right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction was performed with an 18-mm Contegra conduit (Medtronic Inc, Minneapolis, Minn) despite its contraindication in cases of pulmonary hypertension. An additional apical muscular ventricular septal defect was closed with a percutaneous...
متن کاملContegra conduit anastomoses
30 ‘circular’ vs. oblique ‘elliptical’ anastomosis extended on the left PA, evaluating pressure and velocity profiles, and shear stress, from PA 31 origin to the bifurcation. ‘Elliptical’ anastomosis provides larger (s54% difference) cross-sectional area than ‘circular’ anastomosis. Velocity 32 contours showed important stagnation at PA bifurcation in ‘circular’ anastomosis and minimal in ‘elli...
متن کاملThe contegra® valved heterograft conduit for right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction: a reliable solution.
INTRODUCTION The Contegra® bioprosthetic valved conduit, a glutaraldehyde-preserved valve-containing bovine jugular vein graft (Contegra, Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis MN, USA) introduced for clinical trials in 1998, is used for reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), mainly in children. This study evaluates our surgical experience with the Contegra® graft, emphasizing the a...
