| Popis: | Results There were no deaths. Median ICU and hospital stay were 5 and 11 days respectively. Median postoperative (discharge) PV peak gradient (PG) was 23mmHg, median pulmonary regurgitation (PR) 2+/4+ and median tricuspid regurgitation (TR) 1+/4+. Ten patients were followed up for a median of 13 months. For this particular group of patients postoperative vs. follow-up measurements (median values): PV-PG; 20 mmHg vs. 21mmHg, PR; 2+/4+ vs. 2+/4+, TR; 1+/4+ vs. 1+/4+ respectively. Conclusion The use of a monocusp valve derived from a Contegra graft achieves acceptable PR, preserving thus RV function with good overall immediate postoperative and short term results. |
