Abstract

The surgical palliation of several congenital heart defects requires the use of a conduit, particularly between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. Contegra, a valved bovine vein conduit, is a conduit frequently used. Pseudoaneurysms, aneurysms, and dissections have seldom been reported with Contegra conduits but are potential complications associated with these conduits. We report a new case of Contegra dissection.
