Abstract
Right ventricular sinus myectomy in the uncertain area for biventricular repair of pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum leads to immediate increase in right ventricular volume. It, in combination with establishing right ventricle-pulmonary trunk continuity, allowed early biventricular repair in 87% of patients. However, tricuspid valve growth in relation to somatic growth was minimal. Thus, small tricuspid valve size might limit the long-term success of biventricular repair achieved by means of right ventricular sinus myectomy.
