Using simple cardiac repair to retreat Tetralogy of Fallot
Abstract：Objective To summarize the experience of using simple cardiac repair to retreat Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF).Methods 961 patients underwent total correction of tetralogy of Fallot in our hospital between January 2005 to July 2016.275 cases,accounting for 28.61％,received operation by means of simple cardiac repair.When right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction relieved and VSD repaired,incision of RV was closed directly.Results The peak systolic pressure gradient from right ventricle to pulmonary artery in all patients was under 30 mm Hg.No patients died in hospital,without low cardiac output syndrome,renal failure or other severe complications.Postoperative ventilation time was (12.29±8.67)hours,intensive care unit stay was (35.10±19.80) hours,and hospital stay was (9.12±5.20)days.Conclusion Simple cardiac repair with no patch to enlargement RVOT may have excellent results in those TOF patients with only infundibular stenosis and infracristal VSD.This method is advantageous to preserve right ventricle function.
