摘要
Different patch materials have been utilized in repairing ventricular septal defect (VSD) with great success. In this report, in addition to the right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction, the VSD was repaired successfully in all cases by fashioning a patch from a segment of the Contegra xenograft conduit. The freedom from infection, thromboembolism, and reintervention during follow-up, in addition to the advantage of ready availability and cost-effectiveness offered by using the same bovine material, imply that Contegra xenograft is a promising alternative patch material for VSD repair.
