Kumae et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Tetralogy of Fallot, Aortic regurgitation, Aortic root dilatation, Pulmonary regurgitation (n=1). Concomitant biventricular outflow tract reconstruction (aortic valve, ascending aorta, and pulmonary valve replacement) was evaluated on Successful surgical treatment and recovery. A 70-year-old woman with heart failure due to aortic and pulmonary regurgitation 45 years after tetralogy of Fallot repair was successfully treated with concomitant biventricular outflow tract reconstruction.
