Figure 2 Relation of type of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction and late RVOT aneurysm/akinesia to right ventricular volume, function, and pulmonary regurgitant fraction (PRF). (A) There was a significant difference in the mean right ventricular end-diastolic volume index (RVEDVi), right ventricular end-systolic volume index (RVESVi), and PRF in the three RVOT reconstruction subgroups. The two patch subgroups did not differ from each other. PRF was significantly higher in patients with transannular patch compared to those without any patch (p = 0.003). (B) The combined subgroup of RVOT and transannular patch had significantly higher RVEDVi, RVESVi, and PRF compared to the nonpatched group. (C) There was a significant difference in RVEDVi, RVESVi, and right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) between patients with and without RVOT aneurysm/akinesia. Bars represent 95% confidence intervals (CI). ANOVA = analysis of variance.
