Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) account for the majority of cases with late onset right ventricle (RV) failure. The current surgical approach, which includes pulmonary valve replacement/insertion (PVR), has yielded mixed results. A new surgical option placing an elastic band in the right ventricle is proposed to improve RV cardiac function measured by ejection fraction (EF). A total of 20 computational RV/LV/Patch/Band combination models based on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging from a TOF patient were constructed to investigate the impact of band material stiffness variations, band length and active contraction. These models included 4 different band material properties, 3 band length, three active contracting band materials, and models with patch and scar replaced by contracting tissues. Our results indicate that the band insertion, combined with active band contraction and tissue regeneration techniques that restore RV myocardium, has the potential to improve right ventricle ejection fraction by 7.5% (41.63% EF from the best active band model over 34.10% EF from baseline passive band model) and 4.2% (41.63% from the best active band model over CMR-measured EF 37.45%). The CMR-based RV/LV/Patch/Band model provides a “proof of concept” for using elastic bands to improve RV cardiac function. The band insertion combined with myocardium regeneration techniques and RV remodeling surgical procedures has the potential to improve ventricular function in patients with repaired TOF and other similar forms of RV dysfunction after surgery. Further investigations using in vitro experiments, animal models and final patient studies are warranted.
