Surgical outcome after complete repair of tetralogy of Fallot with absent pulmonary valve: comparison between bovine jugular vein-valved conduit and monocusp-valve patch.

Bronchial stenosis and lower age (≤ 6 months) were the main factors influencing post-operative survival. The use of a BJV-valved conduit was a main reason for RV-PA restenosis; thus, the use of a BJV-valved conduit may increase the need for repeat intervention and decrease the post-operative quality of life.
