Abstract
The use of both aortic and pulmonary homografts in the pulmonary position for treatment of right ventricular or pulmonary outflow tract obstruction has gained widespread popularity. 1–3 Although this homograft tissue presents a potential allogeneic stimulus to the recipient, little is known about the effects of blood-type (ABO) compatibility or incompatibility on homograft function. 4 This study retrospectively reviews the outcome of homografts in the pulmonary position in 39 consecutive children who had placement of an aortic or pulmonary homograft in the pulmonary position for treatment of pulmonary outflow tract obstruction.
