Outcomes of truncal valve replacement in neonates and infants: a meta-analysis

Infants with truncus arteriosus typically undergo repair by repurposing the truncal valve as the neo-aortic valve and using a valved conduit homograft for the neo-pulmonary valve. In cases where the native truncal valve is too insufficient for repair, it is replaced, but this is a rare occurrence wi...

Description
Summary:Infants with truncus arteriosus typically undergo repair by repurposing the truncal valve as the neo-aortic valve and using a valved conduit homograft for the neo-pulmonary valve. In cases where the native truncal valve is too insufficient for repair, it is replaced, but this is a rare occurrence with a paucity of data, especially in the infant population. Here, we conduct a meta-analysis to better understand the outcomes of infant truncal valve replacement during the primary repair of truncus arteriosus. We systematically reviewed PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL for all studies reporting infant (
