Severity of native pulmonary annular hypoplasia and late outcomes of tetralogy of Fallot: retrospective cohort study
Transannular patch use and composite dysfunction at discharge, although not statistically significant at 5% level, may be associated with pulmonary valve replacement and RVOT reoperation. Avoiding the use of a transannular patch or using reconstructive techniques to achieve a better composite dysfunction at discharge could reduce the primary outcome. Large multicentre studies are needed to demonstrate more precisely the impact of pulmonary annulus Z scores on outcome.
