  • Title: Trileaflet pulmonary valve reconstruction for pulmonary regurgitation in childhood.
    Author: Ishimaru K, Kanaya T, Sakamoto S, Sawa Y.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2018 Dec 01; 27(6):914-915. PubMed ID: 29931310.
    Abstract:
    A 6-year-old boy with pulmonary regurgitation after complete repair of congenital heart disease underwent an alternative surgical repair for pulmonary valve replacement. Trileaflet pulmonary valve reconstruction using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane is a clinically feasible technique for pulmonary regurgitation in such a young child in whom large-sized bioprosthetic valves cannot be implanted.
