World Journal for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery | September 5, 2024 | Volume: 15 | Issue: 6 | Pages: 861-863
This clinical case series describes the surgical management of tetralogy of Fallot in five children using autologous right atrial appendage to reconstruct the right ventricular outflow tract. Transthoracic echocardiography performed at four-year follow-up showed a mild residual gradient and moderate regurgitation of the neopulmonary valve in all cases.
