Pulmonary artery “conduit” reconstruction using bovine pericardium following long-segment sleeve resection: a unique “in situ tailor-made” sewing method

We describe a unique technique for pulmonary artery reconstruction using a bovine pericardial conduit after long-segment sleeve resection of the pulmonary artery. In this technique, the conduit tube was not created in advance but was sewn in situ from a bovine pericardial “sheet” step-by-step to for...

Description
Summary:We describe a unique technique for pulmonary artery reconstruction using a bovine pericardial conduit after long-segment sleeve resection of the pulmonary artery. In this technique, the conduit tube was not created in advance but was sewn in situ from a bovine pericardial “sheet” step-by-step to form a desirable diameter, length and curve to fit the vascular defect. This is a safe and secure method to create desirable conduit for long and complex pulmonary artery replacement.
