- Abstract
Homologous dura mater, preserved and sterilized in 98% giycerol at room temperature, has been successfully used in many fields of surgery, especially in heart valve replacement. In this report we describe the use of dura mater as an interatrial baffle and as a patch to enlarge the pulmonary venous atrium in two patients submitted to correction of transposition of the great arteries.
