    Abstract Objective: Various options exist for right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) recon‐ struction in congenital heart disease. The Freestyle porcine aortic root may be used but its longevity is not well defined.
    Design: We performed a retrospective review of all non‐Ross RVOT reconstructions using the Freestyle root in our institution.
