Abstract
Pursuit of annulus-sparing repair strategies can lower the use of transannular patch to approximately 30% with low risk of reoperation for the patient. Annulus-sparing repair is associated with significantly reduced long-term RV dilation. Pulmonary valve enlargement to approximately 10 mm and right ventricular systolic pressure less than 50 mm Hg during annulus-sparing repair are associated with low risk of recurrent stenosis.
