Evaluation of 188 consecutive homografts implanted in pulmonary position after 20 years☆☆☆

Abstract: Homograft implantation in the pulmonary position can be performed with good long-term freedom from explantation. However, freedom from degeneration is a matter of concern. Therefore, alternative valved conduits are required especially for pediatric patients.

“…W wyniku zmian degeneracyjnych doszło do dysfunkcji homograftu z powstaniem istotnego zwężenia i niedomykalności płucnej. Taka historia naturalna po tego rodzaju korekcjach jest typowa [4,5], a pacjenci ci wymagają kolejnych (piątej w przypadku opisywanego pacjenta) reoperacji. Nieoperacyjne wszczepienie zastawki biologicznej może obecnie stanowić alternatywną opcję terapeutyczną [1-3, 6, 7].…”

“…The higher dysfunction rate in our study was for a Z value below zero and above plus three, that is, the best results were obtained when the size of the pulmonary valva was between zero and plus three Z value. Thus, some centers, including our Service, has been using a homograft with the biggest number possible for the children, trying to compensate the natural growth of them with a valva of biggest size and decrease the incidence of dysfunction and surgical exchange 7,14,20,21,25,26 .…”

“…In young people, the insertion of the homograft it is considered a risk factor for the conduit failure 4,5,8,9,12,14,15,[18][19][20][21] . The reasons for this are diverse and, among them, the accelerated growth pattern of the children, the use of homografts of smaller sizes and the immunological response exacerbate in the children.…”
