Table 15:

Techniques for reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract

TechniqueApplicable inBenefitReferences
Direct anastomosis with simple patch as a hoodAll variantsProlonged freedom from reintervention[128, 143–148]
Interposition of LAA with overriding patchAll variantsLess tension on branch PAs[97, 149]
Direct anastomosis with monocusp patchAll variantsMay reduce degrees of PR, but little evidence
Septation of the CAT with intra-arterial baffleOnly suitable when PAs come from common stem or ostia are close togetherAvoids need to disconnect branch PAs from trunk[150–152]

CAT: common arterial trunk; LAA: left atrial appendage; PAs: pulmonary arteries; PR: pulmonary regurgitation.
