背景资料。法洛四联症(TOF)修复术后，严重的肺功能不全会损害双心功能。肺瓣膜置换术(PVR)可缓解症状，使右室容量正常化，改善心功能。大多数关于PVR作用的研究都检查了年龄较大的青少年或成年人。对于患有TOF且右室显著扩张的青春期前患者，PVR的潜在益处知之甚少。我们回顾了所有青少年前期的临床数据(
Background. After tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair, severe pulmonary insufficiency is known to impair biventricular function. Pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) alleviates symptoms, normalizes right ventricular volumes, and improves ventricular function. Most studies addressing the role of PVR have examined older adolescents or adults. Less is known about the potential benefits of PVR in preadolescents with TOF and significant right ventricular dilatation.Methods. We reviewed the clinical data for all preadolescents (
