We analysed late results according to the type of RVOT repair.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We collected data from 29 survivors after truncus arteriosus repair. Six (20%) of them were affected by DiGeorge syndrome. The RVOT reconstruction was achieved using a valved conduit in 58.6%, while a direct right ventricle\u2013pulmonary artery (RV\u2013PA) anastomosis, with or without the interposition of the left atrial appendage, was performed in the remaining. At a median follow-up time of 7.9\u2009years (interquartile range 1.8\u201313.1), 6 patients (3 affected by DiGeorge syndrome) died. Between the 2 groups, there were no differences in terms of the late mortality and onset of adverse events. However, the use of a conduit seemed more prone to reintervention and onset of adverse events.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Different RVOT reconstruction techniques are safe and have similar late outcomes. However, use of a direct RV\u2013PA anastomosis and left atrial appendage interposition may reduce the need for reoperation in the long term.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/icvts\/ivaa025","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,28]],"date-time":"2020-01-28T21:29:28Z","timestamp":1580246968000},"page":"910-916","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Alternative techniques of right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction for surgical repair of truncus arteriosus"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7535-9670","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Massimo A","family":"Padalino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric and Congenital Cardiac Surgery Unit, Department of Cardiac, Thoracic, Vascular Sciences and Public Health, University of Padova, Padova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5586-619X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bleri","family":"\u00c7elmeta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric and Congenital Cardiac Surgery Unit, Department of Cardiac, Thoracic, Vascular Sciences and Public Health, University of Padova, Padova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4847-2333","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luca","family":"Vedovelli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Public Health, Department of Cardiac, Thoracic, Vascular Sciences and Public Health, University of Padova, Padova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8140-6798","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Biagio","family":"Castaldi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric and Congenital Cardiology Unit, Department of Woman and Child\u2019s Health, University of Padova, Padova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1829-0259","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vladimiro L","family":"Vida","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric and Congenital Cardiac Surgery Unit, Department of Cardiac, Thoracic, Vascular Sciences and Public Health, University of Padova, Padova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovanni","family":"Stellin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric and Congenital Cardiac Surgery Unit, Department of Cardiac, Thoracic, Vascular Sciences and Public Health, University of Padova, Padova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020052604000329200_ivaa025-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1527","DOI":"10.1586\/erc.11.170","article-title":"Common arterial trunk: review of surgical strategies and future research","volume":"9","author":"De Siena","year":"2011","journal-title":"Expert Rev Cardiovasc Therapy"},{"key":"2020052604000329200_ivaa025-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"50","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-4975(99)01320-X","article-title":"Congenital Heart Surgery Nomenclature and Database Project: truncus arteriosus","volume":"69","author":"Jacobs","year":"2000","journal-title":"Ann Thorac Surg"},{"key":"2020052604000329200_ivaa025-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1047","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5223(19)33777-8","article-title":"Repair of truncus arteriosus in the neonate","volume":"105","author":"Hanley","year":"1993","journal-title":"J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg"},{"key":"2020052604000329200_ivaa025-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1199","DOI":"10.1016\/0003-4975(96)00381-5","article-title":"Direct anastomosis of pulmonary artery-to-right ventricular outflow for correction of tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia","volume":"62","author":"Nomura","year":"1996","journal-title":"Ann Thorac Surg"},{"key":"2020052604000329200_ivaa025-B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"305","DOI":"10.1016\/1010-7940(88)90003-6","article-title":"Anatomic repair of anomalies of ventriculo-arterial connection (REV).
