Population

Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) occurring after surgical treatment of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), especially those with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs).

Intervention

PAH-targeted therapies (pulmonary vasodilators)

New subclassifications for PAH associated with Tetralogy of Fallot and MAPCAs are proposed to better categorize patients and guide the use of pulmonary vasodilators.
