The optimal surgical approach and timing for patients with tetralogy of Fallot remain controversial. There are two options in current practice: a two-stage repair (an initial palliative aortopulmonary shunt at an early age followed by complete repair at an older age) or primary complete repair. ...
tetralogy of FallotOne-hundred and twenty-two patients underwent intracardiac repair for tetralogy of Fallot between the ages of four and twenty-one. Isolated infundibular stenosis was seen in 63.6 per cent combined infundibular and valvular stenosis in 17.3 per cent, diffuse hypoplasia of outflow...
Treatment for tetralogy of fallot may include temporary and complete surgical repair procedures. 法洛四联症的治疗方案可能包括临时以及完全外科修复术。 Sometimes a child is not ready for a complete repair right away. In this case, a temporary repair called a...
HIF1A, hypoxia-inducible factor 1α; RVOT, right-ventricular outflow tract; TOF, tetralogy of Fallot. patients undergoing TOF repair (n = 42, median age 6 mo) as compared with patients undergoing ventricular septal defect repair (n = 20, median age 5.3 mo) (Figure 3). Fibrosis ...
The surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (rToF) in neonatal age often involves pulmonary valvotomy, a transannular patch, or incision in the right ventricular (RV) infundibulum, all of which can contribute to long-term pulmonary valve (PV) regurgitation. Chronic pulmonary regurgitation (PR) lead...
Arterial blood gas (including serum lactate, base excess, oxygen partial pressure [PO2]): The patient's oxygenation status, serum lactate levels, and base excess value appear to be prognostic markers for mortality in those undergoing surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot. [5] Blood cultures:...
Long-Term Results of Total Repair of Tetralogy of Fallot in Adulthood: 35 years Follow-up in 104 Patients Corrected at the Age of 18 or Older* Long-term survival after surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is reported to be excellent if the patients are corrected in childhood. ...
小编注:法洛氏四联症(Tetralogy of Fallot,简写:ToF)1672年由丹麦生理学家尼尔斯·斯坦森(Niels Stensen)首先发现,后于1888年被法国内科医生法洛(Étienne-Louis Arthur Fallot)做了全面地描述,因此被命名为“法洛氏四联症”。 Congenital Heart Diseases
Repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) exists for more than 40 years. This repair results in a pulmonary regurgitation, which is usually well tolerated for two decades or so, but eventually this is injurious for the right ventricle (RV). The RV enlargement and severe RV dysfunction increase risk...
Junctional ectopic tachycardia is a serious arrhythmia that frequently occurs after tetralogy of Fallot repair. Arrhythmia prophylaxis is not feasible for all pediatric cardiac surgery patients and identification of high risk patients is required. The objectives of this study were to characterize patients ...
