Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Tetralogy of Fallot: Impact on Survival and Ventricular Tachycardia
Open accessAbstract
Background— Pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) reduces pulmonary regurgitation and decreases right ventricular (RV) dilation, but its long-term impact on ventricular tachycardia (VT) and mortality is unknown. This study aimed to determine the incidence of death and VT in TOF after PVR and to test the hypothesis that PVR leads to improvement in these outcomes. Methods and Results— A total of 98 patients with TOF and late PVR for RV dilation were identified. Matched control subjects were identified for 77 of these patients; control subjects had TOF with RV dilation but no PVR. Matching was done by age (±2 years) and baseline QRS duration (±30 ms). No significant differences were found in age, QRS duration, type or decade of initial repair, age at TOF repair, or presence of pre-PVR VT between the 2 groups; limited echocardiographic and magnetic resonance imaging data showed no difference in left ventricular function but more RV dilation among PVR patients than control subjects. In the PVR group, 13 events occurred over 272 patient-years. No significant change in QRS duration was seen for any group. Overall 5- and 10-year freedom from death, VT, or both was 80% and 41%, respectively. In the matched comparison, no significant differences were seen in VT, death, or combined VT and/or death ( P =0.32, P =0.06 [nearly favoring controls], and P =0.21). Conclusions— This cohort experienced either VT or death every 20 patient-years. In a matched comparison with a similar TOF group, late PVR for symptomatic pulmonary regurgitation/RV dilation did not reduce the incidence of VT or death.

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.
