Abstract:
It is commonly believed that pulmonary regurgitation (PR) after surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) leads to progressive right ventricular (RV) enlargement. However, progressive RV dilatation has never clearly been documented in this patient population. Therefore, we studied the size of the RV over time in patients after surgical TOF repair.Fifty-one consecutive patients after surgical TOF repair underwent at least two cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) exams using a single CMR sca...     »
