The right ventricle (RV) is composed of a free wall containing a wrap-around circumferential
muscle at its base and a septum composed of helical fibers that are oblique and cross each …

Cardiac dynamics are traditionally linked to a left ventricle, right ventricle, and septum
morphology, a topography that differs from the heart's five-century-old anatomic description …

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 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 …

Background Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is associated with adverse long-term
outcomes in patients with tetralogy of Fallot. Little is known about RV function in the first …

OBJECTIVES Repair of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) has currently excellent results with either
transventricular or transatrial approach. However, it is unclear as to which has better late …

Objective The aim of the present study was to identify the factors associated with right
ventricular (RV) dilatation and dysfunction in patients with chronic pulmonary regurgitation …

Background Right ventricular (RV) volume overload increases morbidity and mortality after
tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair. Surgical strategies like pulmonary leaflets sparing and …

Background and Aim of the Study Outcomes after repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) are good
with either a transventricular (TV) or transatrial (TA) approach. We sought to determine if …

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to evaluate long-term outcomes of
pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and to …
