Abstract

A modified Fontan operation (Fontan Björk [Bjork VO, Olin CL, Bjarke BB, Thoren CA. Right atrial-right ventricular anastomosis for correction of tricuspid atresia. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 1979;77:452--8]) for absent right atrio-ventricular connection was done by using a homograft between the right atrium and the right ventricle in some patients. We present the case of a 31-year-old patient, 21 years after a modified Fontan operation with severe homograft dysfunction. A percutaneous "tricuspid valve" implantation was performed with a Melody valve resulting in a good functional result.

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.
