Abstract
A 29-year-old male, who had undergone a Bjork procedure for tricuspid atresia with a ventricular septal defect, had redo surgery for relief of stenosis and systolic regurgitation of the right atrioventricular pathway. After revision using a valved bioprosthesis, effective biventricular physiology was established and the patient's functional status improved.
