Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart defect. We explore
“hot topics” to highlight areas of emerging science for clinicians and scientists in moving …

Background There is no systematic evidence review of the long-term results of surgical
pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) dedicated to adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot …

Aims Different echocardiographic techniques are available for assessing right ventricular
(RV) volumes but their clinical validity has not been well established. We compared the …

Purpose To assess right ventricular (RV) turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in patients with
repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rToF) and a spectrum of pulmonary regurgitation (PR), as well …

Objectives To assess the difference in time to and predictors of reintervention according to
valve type in surgical bioprosthetic pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in patients younger …

Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease. As a result
of the surgical strategies employed at the time of initial repair, chronic pulmonary …

Background Although right ventricular (RV) volume was significantly decreased in
symptomatic patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) after pulmonary valve …

Background Right ventricular volume quantification using real-time three-dimensional
echocardiographic (RT3DE) imaging is limited by technical shortcomings of acquisition and …

The population of adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is growing, thanks to
improvements in the surgical and medical management of this condition. Accordingly, late …

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a problem in the structure of the heart that is present at
birth. CHD is still the most common inborn defect with an approximate prevalence at birth of …
