Özet
Background: This study aims to present our experience and results in terms of reconstruction with bovine jugular vein conduit in re-redo patients who developed severe homograft degeneration with pulmonary homograft valve replacement. Methods: Between May 2018 and May 2021, a total of 10 re-redo patients (4 males, 6 females; mean age: 16.5±3.0 years; range, 12 to 21 years) who underwent bovine jugular vein conduit replacement due to homograft degeneration were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical, pre-, intra-, and postoperative data of the patients were recorded. Results: The mean age of the second operation (homograft replacement) was 8.5±3.8 (range, 4 to 14) years in the patients who underwent homograft replacement. No postoperative mortality was observed. When the pre and postoperative findings were compared, the right ventricular outflow tract gradient, the degree of pulmonary and tricuspid regurgitation, and right ventricular dilatation were regressed (p<0.05). A significant improvement in the New York Heart Association functional class was observed in all patients after surgery. Conclusion: After tetralogy of Fallot corrective surgery, repetitive surgical interventions are inevitable due to pulmonary valve deterioration. Therefore, a bovine jugular vein conduit may be a good alternative for conduit preference after pulmonary homograft failure in re-redo cases
