Transannular patch repair of tetralogy of Fallot with or without monocusp valve reconstruction: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is one of the most common cyanotic congenital heart diseases. Pulmonary regurgitation is the most common and severe comorbidity after transannular patch (TAP) repair of TOF patients. It has not been confirmed whether a TAP repair with monocusp valve reconstruction would benefit TOF patients in perioperative period compared to those without monocusp valve reconstruction. The purpose of the study is to review and analyze all clinical studies that have compared perioperative outcomes of TOF patients undergoing TAP repair with or without monocusp valve reconstruction and conduct a preferable surgery.

Methods

Eligible studies were identified by searching the electronic databases. The year of publication of studies was restricted from 2000 till
