简介
Background
Pulmonary valve replacement is recommended in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot based on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) criteria. This procedure is performed by surgical or transcatheter approaches.
Objective
We aimed to investigate the differences in preprocedural MRI characteristics (volume, function, strain) and morphology of the right ventricular outflow tract and branch pulmonary arteries in patients for whom surgical or transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement was planned.
Materials and methods
Cardiac MRI of 166 patients with tetralogy of Fallot were analyzed. Of these, 36 patients for whom pulmonary valve replacement was planned were included. Magnetic resonance imaging characteristics, right ventricular outflow tract morphology, branch pulmonary artery flow distribution and diameter were compared between surgical and transcatheter groups. Spearman correlation …
