Abstract
The Hancock valved conduit is a safe and reliable alternative to homografts. It appears to be appropriate in patients with limited pulmonary vascular bed and high pulmonary artery pressures. Caution is required in neonates because of the rigidity of the Dacron housing. Initial results with secondary percutaneous procedures are encouraging.
