    Abstract:

    Objective To investigate the method to establish laboratory animal model of right ventricular outflow tract and pulmonary artery reconstruction(RV-PA)in dogs.Methods The bovine jugular vein conduit(BJVC) that was fixed with polyexpoxy compound(PC) was implanted between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery in ten young dogs.Right ventricular and pulmonary artery pressures were measured directly before and after implantation.Results Seven dogs survived one month after implantation.The systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and mean pressure of the right ventricle and pulmonary artery were not significantly changed after reconstruction with the conduits.Conclusion An animal model of RV-PA reconstruction could be successfully established with PC-fixed BJVC in dogs.
