Fate of subpulmonary homograft conduits: determinants of late homograft failure

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery

Abstract

Between 1971 and 1993, 656 conduits were placed in the subpulmonary position. Patients receiving heterografts or valveless conduits and patients dying within 90 days of insertion were excluded; thus 405 homograft conduits were studied. There were 293 aortic homografts, 94 pulmonary, and 18 of unknown type. The end point of conduit failure was defined by conduit replacement for whatever reason, balloon dilation of the conduit, or death of the patient with the conduit in place. The following factors were analyzed: aortic versus pulmonary homograft, antibiotic preservation versus cryopreservation, ABO and Rh compatibility, type of material used for conduit extension, age at operation, size of the conduit, diagnosis, and reoperations. Conduit number (1 to 405) in the series was included in the multivariable model. First conduits and conduits inserted earlier in the series appeared to last longer than second and subsequent conduits and those inserted later in the series (p = 0.001 and 0.003, respectively). Overall survival of conduits at 5, 10, and 15 years was 84% (95% CL, 80% to 88%), 58% (95% CL, 50% to 66%), and 31% (95% CL, 19% to 43%). Corresponding figures for the first conduits were 88% (95% CL, 84% to 92%), 65% (95% CL, 56%...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
