Abstract
Some types of congenital heart disease (CHD) are characterized by impaired communication between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk. Such defects are one of the most difficult problems of CHD surgery. This contributes to the fact that to this day, the issues of reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract in these defects are relevant. Today there are several types of conduit used for reconstruction right ventricular outflow tract. The conduits used in cardiosurgical practice are constantly being improved, but to date there is no conduit that is ideal for all patients, or even for any particular group of patients. This article presents an analysis of the literature of domestic and foreign authors, devoted to the results of the use of conduits in the correction of complex heart defects.
