Abstract
For many years, complex congenital cardiac lesions such as pulmonary atresia, tricuspid atresia, and truncus arteriosus, could be palliated but not corrected. In 1965, Rastelli and associates [1] reported the establishment of continuity between the light ventricle and the pulmonary artery using pericardial tube. In 1966, Ross and Somerville[2] described the repair of pulmonary atresia using a valve containing aortic homograft. This conduit was initially sterilized with irradiation but long term follow-up indicated late calcification of the homograft frequently resulting in stenosis and requiring reoperation. In 1973 [3] use of a dacron conduit containing a gluteraldehyde preserved porcine valve was described and became commercially available in a variety of sizes solving the logistical problems of homograft procurement.
