Patient selection for right-sided conduit replacement: pre-op examination, indications for re-interventions

Our experience on right-sided biological valve-bearing conduit replacement in patients with congenital heart disease is presented. Pre-op examination protocol is given, based on analysis of our results of conduit reimplantations, criteria for conduit replacement are postulated. Using of this criteria allowed to choose optimal timing for redo operation and diminish intra- and post-op risks.
