Evaluation of long-term results of homograft and heterograft valves in extracardiac conduits

C Bull, FJ Macartney, P Horvath, R Almeida, W Merrill, J Douglas, JF Taylor, MR de Leval and J Stark

Between 1971 and 1982, 249 patients received right heart extracardiac conduits. The 173 patients who survived 30 days were reviewed retrospectively; 72 had antibiotic-sterilized aortic homografts, 97 had xenografts of various types, and four had valveless tubes. Reoperation for conduit obstruction was required as early as 13 months after the original operation, but actuarial analysis showed no differences in overall performance of homograft and heterograft conduit groups with respect to late death or survival free of conduit obstruction. More important risk factors for late death or the need for reoperation were the severity of the underlying cardiac lesions and the influence of early postoperative complications. When analyzed statistically, the performance of conduits bearing homografts was disappointing, influenced sometimes by complications in the Dacron extension tubes. Repairs dispensing with conduits entirely should be evaluated.
