The following 3 types of conduits were used: homografts 129 (64.8%), bovine jugular vein conduits 45 (22.7%) and Matrix P Plus N 25 (12.5%). During the mean follow-up duration of 8.6\u2009\u00b1\u20095.8\u2009years, there were 20 deaths, 35 conduit reoperations and 44 catheter reinterventions. Overall survival, reoperation-free and catheter reintervention-free survival at 20\u2009years were 83%, 67.8% and 65.6%, respectively. Multivariable Cox analysis identified younger patient age, smaller conduit size, low patient weight and primary diagnosis of common arterial trunk as risk factors for reoperation and catheter reintervention.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Long-term outcomes of reconstruction of the RVOT using homografts, bovine jugular vein and Matrix P Plus N conduits were acceptable. The reoperation rate for conduit dysfunction did not differ significantly among groups.
