Association of Pulmonary Valve Morphology Differences With Outcomes in Tetralogy of Fallot Repair With Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Incision.

ABSTRACT: Background: Current observational studies may not have large samples to investigate the relationship between pulmonary valve (PV) morphology differences and outcomes after complete repair for tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) by right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) incision. This study aimed to assess the impact of PV morphology differences on outcomes after complete repair for TOF. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. Consecutive patients who underwent TOF repair with RVOT incision at Fuwai Hospital from January 2012 to December 2017 were included and compared according to PV morphology differences (unicuspid or bicuspid was abnormal morphology, while the tricuspid valve was normal morphology). The primary outcome was defined as a composite of death, or reintervention, o
