Ninety-six consecutive total repairs of the tetralogy of Fallot are reviewed. There was an overall hospital mortality of 8-3 per cent and a total incidence of low output cardiac failure of 18-8 per cent, and this was the principal cause of death and the most important source of ...
Tetralogy of Fallot is an uncommon congenital lesion recognized in both dogs and cats. Keeshonds, English Bulldogs, Wire-haired Fox Terriers, and West Highland White Terriers are reportedly overrepresented. Anatomic features of tetralogy of Fallot include RVOT obstruction (i.e., PS), a subaortic ...

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is one of the most prevalent congenital heart defects, with adverse cardiac remodeling and long-term cardiac complications. Here, searching for pathomechanisms, we find upregulated bublin coiled-coil protein (BBLN) in heart specimens of TOF patients with cyanosis, which ...
ELECTROPHYSIOWGIC EVALUATION OF TETRALOGY OF FALLOT 142 (TOF) REPAIR: EARLY POSTOPERATIVE STUDIES Sharanjeet Singh, M. Andre Vasu, Vincent Parnell, Robert Boxer, Michael LaCorte, Division of Pediatric Cardiology, North Shore University Hospital, Manhasset, NY 11030 Cardiac arrhythmias are common ...
To the best of our knowledge our findings are the first to demonstrate correlations between serial changes in right ventricular size and function and alterations in blood biomarkers in patients with Tetralogy of Fallot. For the individual patients, increases in right ventricular size and mass correlat...
There is cross-center variability with regard to timing repair of non–ductal-dependent tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). We hypothesized that earlier repair in the neonatal period is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. This was a retrospective analysis of the Pediatric Health Information Syste...
Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) experience long-term chronic pulmonary valve regurgitation resulting in right ventricular (RV) dilatation. According to current guidelines, the evaluation of patients with rTOF for RV dilatation should be based on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Howe...
Assisted reproductive techniques (ART) are associated with a higher risk of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and multiple pregnancies may be associated with a higher risk of congenital anomalies. We assessed the extent to which the association between ART and r
The extent of surgical scarring in Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) may be a marker of adverse outcomes and provide substrate for ventricular arrhythmia. In this study we evaluate the feasibility of high resolution three dimensional (3D) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (...
