Overview

Provides preliminary support for low-risk TOF repair; case-report data leave timing and generalizability open.

Structured PICO

What are the mortality and long-term clinical outcomes of total correction surgery for tetralogy of Fallot?

P
Population
124 patients with tetralogy of Fallot
I
Intervention
Total correction surgery (including right heart outflow tract reconstruction by pericardial valved patch or autologous pericardial valve-bearing tube graft)
O
Outcome
Hospital and late mortalitieshard clinical

Total correction of tetralogy of Fallot yields low mortality and excellent long-term clinical outcomes, with the authors preferring to defer definitive repair until age 5.
