Right ventricular outlet tract reconstruction for tetralogy of Fallot: systematic review and network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Concerns persist regarding pulmonary regurgitation after transannular patch repair (TAP) for tetralogy of Fallot. Despite the introduction of various architectural preservation techniques, the optimal strategy remains controversial. Our goal was to compare different right ventricular outlet tract reconstruction techniques.

Methods

PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Central were searched through March 2024 to identify comparative studies on right ventricular outlet tract reconstruction techniques (PROSPERO ID: CRD42024519404). The primary outcome was mid-term pulmonary regurgitation, with secondary outcomes including postoperative mortality, postoperative pulmonary regurgitation, length of intensive care unit stays, postoperative right ventricular outlet tract pressure gr
