Surgical management of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) results in anatomic and functional
abnormalities in the majority of patients. Although right ventricular volume load due to …

Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease, and one of
the first to be successfully repaired by congenital heart surgeons. Since the first procedures …

The “Guidelines on the Management of Valvular Heart Disease” were initially published as

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 …

Because the real benefit of pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in patients with repaired
tetralogy of Fallot who develop pulmonary insufficiency remains unclear, it is necessary to …

Background: Factors associated with impaired clinical status in a cross-sectional study of
patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) have been reported previously. Objectives: To …

The population of patients with adult congenital heart disease is approximately 800,000 in
