Videos of the 4 techniques during implantation are shown. Direct plication: The dilated wall of the recipient's pulmonary artery is incised, leaving only the healthy portion. Anastomosis is performed after suturing. Tack suture: The wall of the recipient's pulmonary artery is partially sutured and sewn in the pocket. Stapling: Half of the dilated pulmonary artery wall is stapled, and the caliber difference is matched before anastomosis. Autopericardial patching: After harvesting the pericardium, the donor's PA is patched in a back table. In this case, the edge of the pericardial patch is supported to obtain the operation view. After trimming, anastomosis is performed. Video available at: https://www.jtcvs.org/article/S2666-2507(21)00403-X/fulltext.
