Operative risk factors and postoperative late results were evaluated in 26 patients undergoing pulmonary artery reconstruction with a substitute valve. Seventeen extracardiac conduits bearing a valve were used in 16 patients and an in situ pulmonary valve insertion was carried out in the other 10. The surgical results were influenced by complexity of the underlying cardiac lesions and pulmonary vascular status, with a high mortality rate in patients with several cardiac defects including single ventricle, asplenia syndrome, complete atrioventricular canal etc. The mortality rate was 6% in patients with an immediate post-repair Ppv/sv of less than 0.75 and 77.8% in those with a Ppv/sv over 0.75. Postoperative Ppv/sv was mainly regulated by valve area index and a close correlation was obtained for the regression equation Ppv/sv = 0.41/(VAI)2 + 0.36 (r = -0.61, p less than 0.05). To obtain excellent hemodynamics with a Ppv/sv of less than 0.50, valve area index should be over 1.7 cm2/M2, and to eliminate re-implantation of the conduit after reaching adulthood, the diameter of the conduit should be 18 mm or more and the valve size 23 A, or more when a SJM valve is used.
