The longevity of valved right ventricle to pulmonary artery (RV-PA) conduits is limited due to calcification and degeneration of non-viable structures. Xenografts are commonly used because of the restricted availability of cryopreserved homografts. Tissue-engineered (de-cellularised) pulmonary valves (TEPVs) were thought to be a valuable alternative to cryopreserved pulmonary homografts due to postoperative seeding with viable autologous vascular endothelial cells.
