Popis: Surgical pulmonary valve insertion (SPVI) for re-entry right ventricular outflow tract intervention (RVOTI) remains an established and reproducible approach. Fast-track in patients undergoing RVOTI of the comprehensive valve program targets early ICU and hospital discharge (Hd). Feasibility study for outcome and cost analysis was undertaken. Between January 2015 and December 2016, 34 patients underwent re-entry RVOTI. Seventeen had SPVI and 17 transcatheter PVI (TPVI). Surgical perioperative fast-track protocol was used. Echocardiographic evaluation preoperatively (TTE-1), after RVOTI (TTE-2), at hospital discharge (TTE-3), and follow-up (TTE-4) were obtained. Cost Analysis included procedural and hospital costs. Mean follow-up period was 11.3 ± 6.9 months. All patients were extubated prior to ICU arrival. Mean age was 8.5 ± 7.8 for SPVI [vs 28.5 ± 8.6 years for TPVI] (p
