Reoperation in adults with repair of tetralogy of Fallot: indications and outcomes.
Open accessAbstract
Objective The purpose of this study is to review indications, surgical procedures, and outcomes in adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot referred for reoperation.Method Sixty consecutive adults (age >/= 18 years) who underwent reoperation between 1975 and 1997 after previous repair of tetralogy of Fallot were reviewed. Mean age at corrective repair was 13.3 +/- 9.6 years and at reoperation 33.3 +/- 9.6 years. Mean follow-up after reoperation is 5.0 +/- 4.9 years.Results Long-term complications of the right ventricular outflow tract (n = 45, 75%) were the most common indications for reoperation: severe pulmonary regurgitation (n = 23, 38%) and conduit failure (n = 13, 22%) were most frequent. Less common indications were ventricular septal patch leak (n = 6) and severe tricuspid regurgitation (n = 3). A history of sustained ventricular tachycardia was present in 20 patients (33%) and supraventricular tachycardia occurred in 9 patients (15%). A bioprosthetic valve to reconstruct the right ventricular outflow tract was used in 42 patients. Additional procedures (n = 115) to correct other residual lesions were required in 46 patients (77%). There was no perioperative mortality. Actuarial 10-year survival is 92% +/- 6%. At most recent follow-up, 93% of the patients are in New York Heart Association classification I or II. Sustained ventricular tachycardia occurred in 4 patients (7%) during follow-up.Conclusions Long-term complications of the right ventricular outflow tract were the main reason for reoperation. Mid-term survival and functional improvement after reoperation are excellent.

In the citing paper
“Right ventricle dilatation therefore usually prompts the replacement of the native pulmonary valve at some time during follow-up, with the burden of redo operations every 10 to 15 years thereafter.12,13”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
