Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is an index lesion for all paediatric and congenital heart surgeons. In designing an appropriate operation for children with TOF, the predicted postoperative physiology must be taken into account, both for the short and long term. A favourable balance between pulmonary stenosis (PS) and pulmonary insufficiency (PI) may be critical for preservation of biventricular function. A unified repair strategy to limit both residual PS and PI is presented, along with supportive experimental evidence. A strategy for dealing with coronary anomalies and some comments regarding best timing of operation are also included.
法洛四联症(TOF)是所有小儿及先天性心脏病外科医生的标志性病变。在为TOF患儿设计合适的手术时,必须考虑到术后短期和长期的预期生理状况。肺动脉狭窄(PS)和肺动脉瓣关闭不全(PI)之间的良好平衡对于保留双心室功能可能至关重要。本文提出了一种统一的修复策略,以限制残余PS和PI,并提供了支持性实验证据。还包括处理冠状动脉异常的策略以及关于最佳手术时机的一些评论。
