We report 2 patients who developed severe scar contracture of a Microvel Hemashield valveless right-sided extracardiac conduit implanted 14 months earlier. In both cases, the diameter of the conduit was reduced along its entire length, with the prosthetic material plicated inward by retraction and organization of connective fibrous tissue on either side of the conduit.
