Abstract
Early conduit insufficiency is common and worsens with follow-up in small BJVs. Conduit insufficiency is limited in larger sizes and remains stable. BJV exhibits BPAFR commonly in the absence of significant conduit insufficiency. BPAFR should not be used as a primary criterion for grading insufficiency in BJV conduits.
