Clinical research on autologous valved pericardial patch in the correction surgery of tetralogy of fallot / 安徽医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the activity of autologous pericardial patch treated by distilled water in right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction of tetralogy of fallot,and to evaluate its clinical effect. Methods The study used 125 patients who had applied correction surgery of tetralogy of fallot and autologous pericardial patch treated by distilled water in the right ventricular outflow reconstruction. 39 cases used fresh autologous pericardial patches,and 86 cases used autologous valved pericardial patch. The degree of insufficiency and activity of the pulmonary valve were compared. Results The mean follow-up time was ( 63 ± 8 ) months in fresh autologous pericardial patches group, while (55 ± 7) months in valved patch group. No significant difference was found in age, body surface area, heart rate, pulmonary artery diameter, cardiopulmonary bypass time and priming volume postoperative between the two groups. The exacerbations of pulmonary valve insufficiency and activity in fresh autologous pericardial patches group were significantly higher than in valved patch group. Conclusion Autologous pericardial patch treated by distilled water was beneficial in right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction of tetralogy of fallot. It reduced pulmo-nary valve insufficiency and sclerosis after the correction surgery and showed good mid-term clinical results .
