Abstract
Bioprosthetic pulmonary valve replacement in patients with congenital heart disease has excellent short-term outcomes, but children have an approximately 5-fold greater risk of reintervention than adults. Independently of age, reintervention rates vary by valve type. These differences may be important in valve selection and follow-up.
