title: Implantation of a prosthesis mounted inside a self-expandable stent in the pulmonary valvar area without use of cardiopulmonary bypass.
abstract: Patients with right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction often require redo operations with time. Unique surgical problems exist in this group of patients. We report an innovative method of implantation of a pulmonary valve without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass.
