Abstract

The Contegra valve-containing conduit (Medtronic) has been used for reconstruction of right ventricle outflow pathway in congenital heart disease surgery since 1999. The literature on immune inflammation of a xenovein is scarce and controversial. We present a clinical case of a pronounced cellular immune response to the Contegra device.
