A interdisciplinary multiscale approach for an innovative pulmonary valve insertion/replacement (PVI/PVR) surgery with RV remodeling and band insertion to improved surgical outcome after surgery. (a) RV pulmonary valve insertion (PVR) (current practice); (b) RV after PVR with reduction of RV outflow patch and removal of RV scar (RV remodeling); (c) RV PVR with one band insertion (patient-specific geometry); (d) A process using fibrin-based cell-seeded microthreads to generate contractile band.
