Abstract

Right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction is repeatedly required after the Rastelli procedure. However, standard right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction using direct anastomosis on the posterior right ventricular outflow tract wall is unfeasible in cases with severe calcification. Herein, we present a novel technique called the “lantern procedure,” which can fix the prosthetic pulmonary valve without anastomosis to the calcified right ventricular outflow tract wall.
