Fig 1 Schematic of method of preparing valved conduit from a sheet of tissue. (A) Flat sheet of tissue (b = width, 20 mm; l = length, 62 mm). (B) Cylinder of tissue created by suturing the flat sheet along its width (a = cylinder diameter; b = height; c = incised portion, 15 mm; d = longitudinal incision, 5 mm). (C) Involution of flaps inside cylinder. (D-E) Creation of valve and leaflets by suturing tissue flaps to inner wall of cylinder. (F) Two-dimensional cuffs of tissue sutured to superior and inferior aspect of valve to create valved conduit.
