Artery Conduit

In adult congenital heart disease, there are situations that require both the aortic and pulmonary roots to be replaced at the time of a reoperation. This commonly involves the replacement of a previously implanted right ventricle-pulmonary artery conduit in a patient with late aortic root dilation and/or neo-aortic valve dysfunction following the Ross procedure. Similar scenarios are encountered in patients having undergone previous repair of conotruncal anomalies such as truncus arteriosus and tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia. We describe our standardized technique for twin root replacement.
