Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair involves the placement of a transannular patch (TAP) to relieve right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction. TAP results in free pulmonary regurgitation (PR) after surgery. PR is responsible for most of the long-term complications in patients with operated TOF. To overcome this problem of PR we describe a novel method of monocusp reconstruction of the pulmonary valve using autologous pericardium in children requiring TAP. Newly created monocusp pulmonary valves reduce PR, help in faster recovery from surgery, and reduce long-term issues associated with repaired TOF.

法洛四联症(TOF)修复术包括放置跨环补片(TAP)以缓解右心室流出道(RVOT)梗阻。TAP术后会导致自由性肺动脉反流(PR)。PR是TOF手术患者大多数长期并发症的原因。为克服PR这一问题,我们描述了一种在需要TAP的儿童中使用自体心包进行肺动脉瓣单叶重建的新方法。新创建的单叶肺动脉瓣可减少PR,有助于更快从手术中恢复,并减少与TOF修复相关的长期问题。
