Pulmonary regurgitation may cause progressive right ventricular dilatation and dysfunction in adult patients previously repaired for right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO), and who require subsequent valve implantation for relief of these symptoms. Right ventricular recovery after pulmonary valve implantation (PVI) may be closely linked to the functional importance of the structural presence of an aneurysm or akinetic segment in the RVOT area. To test this concept, the impact of the right ventricular restoration with a new surgical ventriculoplasty technique is evaluated following pulmonary valve implantation in patients with severe pulmonary regurgitation and right ventricular dilatation.
