Tetralogy of Fallot and abnormal coronary artery: use of a prosthetic conduit is outdated

Abstract

Repair of ToF and abnormal CA can be performed without an RV-PA conduit, with an acceptable low reintervention rate. The high early mortality rate in this series remains a concern. If any doubt remains about the surgical relief of the RVOT obstruction, the RV/LV pressure ratio should always be measured in the operating room.
