At 5\u2009years, freedoms from reoperation on the autograft and on the right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit were 94% and 97%, respectively. Freedom from aortic valve regurgitation greater than mild was 97% at 5\u2009years. Median dimensions of the aortic root at all levels remained in normal range at last visit.
