Initial Experience With a Bicuspid Polytetrafluoroethylene Pulmonary Valve in 41 Children and Adults: A New Option For Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Reconstruction

Polytetrafluoroethylene bicuspid pulmonary valve reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract is a safe, effective, and durable technique for the short term. Appropriate oversizing minimizes outflow tract obstruction while maximizing competence. Long-term follow-up is necessary to determine the true value of this technique.
