Transannular GORE-TEX Patch with Pericardial Unicusp for Total Correction of Tetralogy of Fallot

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

When corrective surgery for tetralogy of Fallot was accomplished through the use of a transannular GORE-TEX® patch with a pericardial unicusp, the right-ventricular end-diastolic volumes of all patients studied within a year of the surgery were within the normal ranges because of decreased pulmonary valve regurgitation. The right-ventricular ejection fraction was also only slightly depressed, indicating preservation of right-ventricular function. All patients were noted to maintain normal stroke volumes and normal systolic indices.
