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 …

Abstract Introduction Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart
disease. Intracardiac correction was pioneered by Walton Lillehei in 1955 and has since …

Objective Despite decades of experience, aspects of the management of tetralogy of Fallot
with pulmonary stenosis (TOF) remain controversial. Practitioners must consider newer …

Background The aim of the study was to evaluate our results with pulmonary valve (PV)
preservation in selected patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Methods From January 2007 …

Objectives The significant morbidity of long-term pulmonary regurgitation (PR) has driven
the development of pulmonary valve (PV) sparing repair strategies in patients with tetralogy …

The concept of minimally invasive surgery for congenital heart disease in paediatric patients
is broad, and has the aim of reducing the trauma of the operation at each stage of …

This review deals with a relatively new field in congenital heart surgery, valve preservation
or, in cases of more severe pulmonary valve stenosis or dysplasia, valve reconstruction …

Objective To describe the anatomy of the PV in tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and to define the
influence of PV anatomy on the development of surgical techniques for PV preservation …

Given late outcomes of patients with tetralogy of Fallot repaired in the 1970s and 1980s, as
well as a better understanding of the late deleterious effects of pulmonary regurgitation …

To this day, controversy still exists regarding the optimal method to treat symptomatic
neonates and infants with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Symptomatic (severely cyanotic or ductal …
