  • Univariate and multivariable predictors for homograft dysfunction (pulmonary stenosis ≥36 mm Hg or moderate PR).

  • CMR, cardiovascular magnetic resonance; EDVI, end-diastolic volume index; PAP, pulmonary artery pressure; PR, pulmonary regurgitation; PS, pulmonary stenosis; PVR, pulmonary valve replacement; TR, tricuspid regurgitation.
