Abstract Objectives: To access the effectiveness of our modified right-ventricular overhauling procedure on tricuspid valve (TV) growth in patients with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PAIVS). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 21 patients with PAIVS who underwent modified right ventricular overhauling (mRVoh) between 2008 and 2019 at two institutions. Our mRVoh consisted of wide resection of hypertrophied infundibular and trabecular muscle, peeling off fibrotic endocardial tissue in the right ventricle (RV) cavity, surgical pulmonary valvotomy, and Blalock-Taussig shunt or banding of ductus arteriosus under cardiopulmonary bypass. The TV annulus sizes were measured and analyzed using echocardiography… More >
