Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Adults and Adolescents With Congenital Heart Disease: A United Kingdom and Ireland Survey
This survey demonstrates heterogeneity in the choice of pulmonary valve prosthesis. Combined with a lack of evidence from clinical trials, our findings support the presence of clinical equipoise. Most surgeons are willing to change practice, suggesting that a pragmatic, multicentre, randomized controlled trial comparing bovine pericardial versus porcine xenograft for pulmonary valve replacement in adults is feasible.
