Abstract: Background: Ambient air pollution is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. No study has investigated the association between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure and prognosis of patients undergoing right ventricle-pulmonary (RV-PA) artery conduit surgery. We hypothesized that PM2.5 can lead to stenosis of the conduit by stimulating inflammatory response in the conduit lumen.
