Surgical Repair of Tetralogy of Fallot Using Autologous Right Atrial Appendage to Reconstruct the Right Ventricular Outflow Tract: A Case Series With Four-Year Follow-up
This clinical case series describes the surgical management of tetralogy of Fallot in five children using autologous right atrial appendage to reconstruct the right ventricular outflow tract. Transthoracic echocardiography performed at four-year follow-up showed a mild residual gradient and moderate regurgitation of the neopulmonary valve in all cases.
