Abstract
Introduction: To evaluate the late outcomes and effectiveness of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction with homografts in non-Ross patients with complex RVOT obstruction or insufficiency. Methods: A retrospective study (1986-2011) included 156 consecutive non-Ross patients who received homografts (standard cryopreserved, 30 aortic and 105 pulmonary; decellularized, 21 pulmonary) for RVOT reconstruction. Median age at implantation was 2 years (0-67 years). Prosthetic choice included small-size homografts (<16mm, n=71; SSH) and large-size homograft (>17mm, n=85; LSH).
