Objective: The study aims to evaluate the feasibility and
effectiveness of an individualized procedure for right ventricular outflow tract
(RVOT) reconstruction in pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect
(PA-VSD). Methods: RVOT was reconstructed using autologous pulmonary
artery tissue preserved in situ as the posterior wall and a bovine jugular vein
patch (BJVP) as the anterior wall in patients with PA-VSD (observation group).
The size of the BJVP made from a bovine jugular vein conduit (BJVC) was
individually calculated using a formula based on the child’s weight and the size
of the autologous pulmonary artery (the diameter of BJVC
