Withurawanit W A fresh autologous pericardia! trileaflet valve conduit was used in a 5-month-old infant
for correction of truncus arteriosus. The patient recovered from the operation with satisfactory
hemodynamics and post-operative echocardiogram at 3 months showed only mild to moderate
pulmonary regurgitation. This technique is a useful alternative for correction in an infant with con-
genital heart disease who needs a tissue valve conduit. It may be more suitable than an aortic
homograft by reason of unavailability of small homograft and limitation of organ donation.
