Truncal valve repair using autologous pericardial patch augmentation

Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann. 2013 Jun;21(3):352-4. doi: 10.1177/0218492312454729.

Abstract

A 35-month-old boy with severe truncal valve regurgitation underwent successful repair by tricuspidization using raphe slicing and an extension technique with glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardium. His truncal valve regurgitation improved from severe to mild 5 years postoperatively. Tricuspidization using raphe slicing and valve extension with autologous pericardium might be one of the alternatives for truncal valve regurgitation with a quadricuspid valve.
