About
To compare of mid-term results of total correction of tetralogy of fallot between preservation of pulmonary valve and trans-annular patching , thus avoiding PV regurgitation during TOF repair , this will determine the value of this procedure over trans-annular patching regarding to right ventricular performance.
Full description
Surgical repair of congenital lesions associated with right ventricular outflow tract obstruction frequently requires the destruction of pulmonary valve (PV) competents including the pulmonary annulas. The resulatnt pulmonary insufficiency may lead to late functional deterioration of right ventricular performance. Acute right ventricular dysfunction has been associated with poor pulmonary runoff, tricuspid valve regurgitaion and pulmonary hypertension. Preservation of PV comptence may prevent both early and late right ventricular failure. Total repair of tetralogy of fallot is a corrective surgical procedure that involves closure of the ventricular septal defect (VSD) and relief of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction. The surgeon must decide whether the right ventricular outflow tract size will be sufficient to allow for the entire cardiac output to traverse it without causing extreme elevation in right ventricular pressure or will go for trans-annular patch. Recently interest has shifted to preserving the integrity of the pulmonary valve annulus thus avoiding pulmonary valve regurgitation.
