Abstract

Patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) have multiple surgical sequelae altering the pulmonary flow hemodynamics. Repaired TOF (rTOF) adults frequently develop pulmonary regurgitation impacting the blood flow pressure, right ventricle load, and pulmonary hemodynamics. We aimed to evaluate the pulmonary flow hemodynamics using 4D-flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for characterizing altered blood flow, viscous energy loss (EL), wall shear stress (WSS), pressure drop (PD), and ventricular flow analysis (VFA) in rTOF patients. We hypothesized that 4D-flow based parameters can identify pulmonary blood flow alterations. A total of 17 rTOF patients (age: 29 ± 10 years, 35% women) and 20 controls (age: 36 ± 12 years, 25% women) were scanned using a dedicated cardiac MRI protocol. Peak velocity and regurgitant fraction were significantly higher for rTOF patients (p < 0.001). WSS was consistently elevated along the PA in the rTOF (p ≤ 0.05). The rTOF average circumferential WSS was higher than axial WSS at the main pulmonary artery (p ≤ 0.001). PD and EL were consistently higher in the rTOF as compared with controls (p < 0.05). For VFA, delayed ejection increased and retained inflow decreased in rTOF patients (p < 0.001). To conclude, this study demonstrated that 4D-flow MRI pulmonary flow in the rTOF can exhibit altered peak velocity, valvular regurgitation, WSS, EL, PD, and VFA.

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.
