Trileaflet pulmonary valve reconstruction with the Ozaki technique in an adult patient of tetralogy of Fallot with absent pulmonary valve

Pulmonary valve interventions are one of the most common cardiac interventions that are being performed in patients with a wide variety of congenital heart diseases, more so in adults with congenital heart disease. Despite the introduction of various different reconstructive techniques and conduits, the ideal option still remains elusive. Lack of growth and re-operation for conduit replacement remains an Achilles heel in such conduits. So, surgeons have constantly tried to evolve surgical techniques that would obviate their use and allow age-related growth. The Ozaki procedure has proven to be technically reproducible and have excellent mid-term results in the aortic position in adults. Extending the same principle for reconstruction of the pulmonary valve can prove to be a reasonable alternative.
