Twenty-five years' experience of modified Lecompte procedure for the anomalies of ventriculoarterial connection with ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis

Abstract

The modified Lecompte procedure has excellent long-term results for treating anomalies of ventriculoarterial connection with ventricular septal defect and pulmonary outflow tract obstruction. Early repair is possible with low mortality and morbidity in terms of arrhythmia, reoperation for right or left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and functional class.

Long-Term Follow-Up of the Conal Flap Method for Tricuspid Malinsertion in Transposition of the Great Arteries With Ventricular Septal Defect and Pulmonary Stenosis

“…The REV [2] and Nikaidoh [8] procedures were reported in the 1980s, and long-term experience with these operations has also been reported. Reports have shown overall survival rates ranging from 85% to 87% at 25 years for the REV procedure [5,9]. Good midterm results have been reported for the Nikaidoh procedure [10,11].…”
