Abstract OBJECTIVES In Japan, homograft and bovine jugular vein are available in very limited institutions for the reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract, and handmade expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE)-valved conduits have been widely used instead. This study aimed to clarify the long-term outcomes and the durability of the ePTFE-valved conduits purely by narrowing down to those with large sizes to eliminate the influence of the body growth. METHODS Between January 2002 and December 2015, patients who underwent right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction in 34 Japanese institutions using ePTFE-valved conduits with a diameter of ≥18 mm were included. All the valved conduits were made in the authors’ institution and delivered to each participating institution. RESULTS Overall, 502 patients were included. Early mortality was 1.4% and not related to conduit failure. The overall survival rate was 98.2% at 5 years and 96.6% at 10 years. Freedom from conduit explantation was 99.5% at 5 years and 89.0% at 10 years. Three patients (0.13 per 100 patient-years) developed infective endocarditis of the conduit, and only 1 patient required conduit removal. Pulmonary insufficiency was mild or less in 480 (96%) patients, and conduit stenosis was mild or less in 436 (88%) patients at the latest follow-up. CONCLUSIONS By narrowing the analyses down to only ePTFE conduits with a large size, satisfactory long-term outcomes of these conduits with a fan-shaped valve and bulging sinuses were shown. These conduits would be among the optimal choices for right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction.
