ABSTRACT

Criança de seis anos portadora de atresia pulmonar com comunicação interventricular, submetida a correção total com um ano, empregando monoválvula de pericárdio bovino na reconstrução da via de saída do ventrículo direito. Evoluiu com importante regurgitação valvar pulmonar (RVP) e disfunção do ventrículo direito. Na reoperação foi implantado homoenxerto pulmonar criopreservado (HPC) com anuloplastia, utilizando anel de Delrin com o intuito de evitar distorção geométrica do conduto. Após dois anos, o ecocardiograma, semelhante ao pós-operatório imediato, demonstra RVP discreta e função ventricular direita normal, sugerindo que essa manobra pode ser utilizada como coadjuvante para otimizar o resultado do implante do HPC.


A six-year-old child was suffering from pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect after a total correction at 1 year of age using a bovine pericardial monocusp valve in the reconstruction of the right ventricle outflow tract. The infant evolved with significant pulmonary valve regurgitation (PVR) and right ventricle dysfunction. On reoperation, a cryopreserved pulmonary homograft (CPH) was implanted with annuloplasty utilizing a Delrin ring with the aim of avoiding geometric distortion of the vessel. After two years, an echocardiogram proved a similar state to the immediate postoperative period with slight pulmonary valve regurgitation and normal right ventricular function suggesting that this maneuver may be used as coadjuvant treatment to optimize the result of CPH implantation.
