Abstract
Long-existing congenital heart defect with left-to-right shunt is characterized by right heart volume overload and further
tricuspid valve insufficiency, leading to right ventricle dysfunction. Such hemodynamic disorders could also
result in other heart valve lesions. The question of the method of correction of the pulmonary artery valve, based
on existing options, including bioprostheses, homographs, mechanical or biological valves, is solved based on the experience of the surgeon or the approach adopted in the clinic. The most widely used bioprostheses, as there is no
need for constant anticoagulant therapy. However, most of the bioprostheses will eventually fail and require replacement.
This case report is aimed to describe successful repair of severely calcified pulmonary valve with autologous
pericardium in 28 year old female patient with atrial septal defect. We presume, that technic advised, could be a reasonable
alternative to pulmonary valve replacement
