Abstract
- It is very difficult to choose the ideal valved conduit used in right ventricle outflow reconstruction in child. We can use the cryopreserved homograft but there is a limit of appplication because of its difficulties in the size matching and supply capacity. The Shelhigh(R) porcine-valved conduit is commercially available and used as an alternative choice in these days. We report two cases of early Shelhigh conduit failure in right ventricular outflow tract after Ross operation in congenital aortic stenosis.
