Overview

RV infundibular dilatation may flag persistent pressure overload post-tetralogy repair; leaves open its diagnostic utility versus catheterization in larger cohorts.

Structured PICO

P
Population
27 children who survived total correction of Fallot's tetralogy, including 14 with suspected complications who were reinvestigated.
I
Intervention
Radiological evaluation including plain X-ray, angiocardiography, and cardiac catheterisation.
O
Outcome
Detection of postoperative complications (residual pulmonary stenosis, reopening of ventricular septal defect, pulmonary incompetence) and associated radiological findings.surrogate

Dilatation of the right ventricular infundibulum on imaging is a reliable indicator of persistent outflow obstruction or VSD reopening after Fallot's tetralogy repair, though recatheterisation remains necessary to confirm residual stenosis.
