  • Title: Double-barrel right ventricular outflow: tetralogy of Fallot annulus preservation technique.
    Author: Reyes KG, Cuaso CC, Tan RB.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2012 Sep; 94(3):1023-5. PubMed ID: 22916765.
    Abstract:
    In patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair and a borderline pulmonary valve annulus (PVA) size, surgical repair often necessitates a transannular incision and subsequent placement of a patch with or without a monocusp or, alternatively, a right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery conduit. We discuss here a technique in which the pulmonary valve annulus can be safely preserved, with infrequent postoperative issues as well as the potential for less incidence of right ventricular outflow intervention in the long term.
