AbstractWe underwent pulmonary valve replacement using the right ventricule pulmonary artery bypass without cardiopulmonary bypass. This right heart bypass was consisted of the vascular graft and the polystyrene tube. The vascular graft was anastomosed to the main pulmonary artery and the polystyrene tube was inserted into the free wall of the right ventricle. These were connected with a cannulating magnetic flow probe. After the bypass was established, the pulmonary artery was clamped and divided. The pulmonary valves were excised and the pulmonary valve replacement was undergone with a pulmonary valve homograft. Hemodynamics during the pulmonary valve replacement was stable and the postoperative course was uneventful. One month later, the cardiac catheterization and cineangiography showed that the implanted homograft was effective sufficiently. We concluded that this right heart bypass was useful for the pulmonary valve replacement.
