Abstract
In pediatric cardiovascular surgery, the autologous pericardium is useful for pulmonary artery augmentation. However, in some cases, the autologous pericardium may not be available for various reasons. Since 2014, we have developed tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) and obtained good results. We report a successful case of multiple pulmonary artery plasty with TEVGs for pulmonary atresia/ventricular septal defect with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries. TEVGs are useful alternatives to autologous pericardium in pediatric cardiovascular operations that often require multistage procedures.
