چکیده
Two cases are presented of accelerated aortic allograft fibrocalcification after right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction occurring within 2 months after surgery in a 5-year-old and 22-month-old. Potential determinants of early calcification, clinical management after implantation and surgical alternatives are discussed.

Right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction with an allograft conduit.
BACKGROUND Allograft conduits are used for reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract in patients with congenital heart disease and in the pulmonary autograft procedure. A retrospective evaluation of our experience with the use of allograft conduits for reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract was conducted. METHODS Between August 1986 and March 1999, 316 allografts (2...
متن کاملRoss operation and right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction with stentless xenografts.
Traditionally a homograft valve is used as a pulmonary replacement device for the Ross operation. Right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction during aortic valve replacement with an autograft was performed with stentless xenograft valves in nine patients. Hemodynamic performance is satisfying, but, long term evaluation is needed.

OBJECTIVES The goal of our study was to report our intermediate-term results with aortic root translocation plus arterial switch for d-transposition of the great arteries with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. BACKGROUND A d-transposition of the great arteries with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction represents a difficult surgical problem. The Rastelli procedure is the usual...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging of stentless xenografts for reconstruction of right ventricular outflow tract.
The objective was to overcome allograft shortage during the Ross operation; stentless xenografts were carefully evaluated for hemodynamic behavior and valve deterioration during medium term follow-up. Between January 10, 1994 and January 4, 1996 nine adult patients (age 31-51 years) underwent aortic valve replacement with an autologous pulmonary valve and right ventricular outflow tract reconst...
متن کاملA Pediatric Case of Cardiobacterium Hominis Endocarditis after Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Reconstruction
Cardiobacterium hominis, a member of the HACEK group of organisms, is a rare cause of endocarditis and is even rarer in pediatric population. In this report, we present a case of infective endocarditis caused by C. hominis in a 16-year-old Tunisian girl who had undergone right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction using a Hancock® heterograft for double outlet right ventricle with pulmonary ...
