Abstract
The study examines the role of surgical modifications of the pulmonary autograft operation to improve immediate results. Retrospective analysis of 151 operated patients was reviewed, in 82 (54 3%) of these technical innovations have been used: sinus reinforcement of autograft’s root, double suture for aortic anastomosis and creation of the pulmonary artery during ischemic time.
The results showed a significant decrease in the number of intraoperative complications, mortality, early complications and improvement in the postoperative period in patients who used the new surgical techniques pulmonary autograft surgery.
