Pantaloon patch pulmonary artery reconstruction and intermittent neo-aortic root distension during coronary reimplantation have minimized respective outflow tract reoperations. Certain anatomic subsets carry different risks for late reoperation, and pulmonary artery and/or RVOT reinterventions tend to occur sooner than aortic reinterventions. Special attention to these higher risk subpopulations will be critical to optimizing lifelong outcomes.
