Background : An 18-year-old female patient presenting significant dyspnea on exertion referred to our department of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery for a redo-Rastelli (an exchange of a extracardiac conduit) operation. The patient underwent the Rastelli operation with a Polystan® conduit 15 years ago for DORV(double outlet of right ventricle) with PS (pulmonary stenosis) and single coronary orifice.

Methods : The previous conduit, however was located antero-right position to the aorta due to nearly transposed great vessels, traveling crossed the sternum. In follow-up of echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography(CT) and cardiac catheterization, the patient’s extra-cardiac conduit showed very severe stenosis and calcification. The pressure of right ventricle (RV) was high; 120/40 (mmHg) when systemic pressure was 120/80 (mmHg). Mild pectus excavatum (PE, haller index: 3.3) was also found. As results, the patient’s extra-cardiac conduit was already compressed against the sternum and the space for a new conduit was not roomy at the time. So it was sure that the a lager new conduit definitely be squeezed by the sternum and compresses the single coronary orifice underneath the new conduit.
Therefore we did combined operation; the handmade valved-conduit replacement and RVOT enlargement under the beating heart and the Nuss operation. The choice of a tissue valve was an issue as well. Because space problem under the sternum had to change with a smaller valve than those of her ages but needs as large as true internal diameter and enough effective orifice Valve-In-Valve(VIV) procedure of transcatheter pulmonic valve replacement(PVR) in the future. We decided a Perimount 21® for these concerns as mentioned earlier.


Results : The result of combined operation was satisfactory with a decrease of RV pressure (120mmHg to 60mmHg), preventing from relieving luminal compressions of conduit ,coronary artery and severe postoperative complications or instability of chest wall.

Conclusion : In conclusion, the Nuss operation can be a good option for not only solving chest
deformities but also decreasing compression of an extra-cardiac conduit in redo Rastelli
operation. The suitable and effective valve choice is also an important consideration for the next VIV transcatheter PVR procedures.
