Background Patients with repair of tetralogy of Fallot (rToF) who are approaching adulthood
often exhibit pulmonary valve regurgitation, leading to right ventricle (RV) dilatation and …

Objective The relationship between right ventricular (RV) fibrosis and right heart reverse
remodelling following pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) has not been well studied in …

In the sheep model with pathophysiologic changes similar to patients with repaired TOF,
severe PR leads to fibrotic changes in the RV. Pulmonary valve replacement reverses these …

Background Pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) is commonly performed late after
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair. We examined the effects of PVR on cardiac structure …

OBJECTIVES Risk factors associated with adverse cardiac events (cardiac AEs) after
pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot are …

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease.
Owing to advances in cardiovascular surgery, survival can now be expected into adulthood …

Background Although early results of pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) after tetralogy of
Fallot repair have been described, information about late postoperative ventricular size and …

Pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) reduces right ventricular (RV) volumes in the setting of
long-term pulmonary regurgitation after Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) repair; however, little is …

Purpose Several adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rToF) undergo pulmonary valve
replacement (PVR) to reduce the right ventricular volume and retain right ventricular …

Background: Pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot
provides symptomatic benefit and right ventricular (RV) volume reduction. However, data on …
