Restrictive RV physiology evident after PA/IVS repair; leaves open its prognostic value and management implications.
Do patients after complete correction of pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum and critical pulmonary stenosis have abnormal right ventricular diastolic function compared to healthy controls?
Patients with repaired pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum exhibit restrictive right ventricular physiology, evidenced by antegrade diastolic pulmonary arterial flow.
Redington et al. (1992) studied this question.
