Figure 3 Type of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction and late RVOT aneurysm/akinesia. (A) No statistically significant difference was seen in the incidence of either RVOT aneurysm or akinesia among patients who underwent RVOT reconstruction with transannular patch, RVOT patch, or without usage of a patch. The cumulative incidence of RVOT aneurysm and akinesia in patients repaired without patch was marginally lower compared to those repaired with transannular patch ( 2p = 0.07). (B) The cumulative incidence of RVOT aneurysm and akinesia in patients repaired without patch was lower but not significantly different compared to patients with RVOT transannular patching.
