چکیده
Percutaneous balloon dilatation has been used successfully to dilate various stenoses occurring after repair of congenital heart disease. Acute dissection of a stenotic right ventricular outflow tract occurred after attempted balloon dilatation in a patient with previously corrected tetralogy of Fallot.

Growth of the pulmonary artery after neonatal balloon dilatation of the right ventricular outflow tract in an infant with the tetralogy of Fallot and atrioventricular septal defect.
A two week old girl with tetralogy of Fallot and atrioventricular septal defect underwent palliation, for severe hypoxaemia, by balloon dilatation to the right ventricular outflow tract. This procedure was repeated once over the next eight months without complications. Serial right ventricular angiograms showed growth of the hypoplastic pulmonary ring ("annulus"), trunk, and arteries. Balloon d...

Background and Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze our indications, surgical procedures, and clinical outcomes of patients undergoing reoperation after surgical correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Methods: Thirty seven consecutive patients who underwent reoperation late after intra-cardiac repair of TOF within a period of 10 years were assessed. Results: The most co...
متن کاملBalloon dilatation of the pulmonary valve in the first year of life in patients with tetralogy of Fallot: a preliminary study.
Fifteen infants with tetralogy of Fallot, who would otherwise have required a palliative operation, underwent balloon dilatation of the right ventricular outflow tract. The mean period of palliation was 8.5 months (range 0-26 months). The procedure was performed without serious complications on 88% of occasions. This preliminary study suggests that balloon dilatation may be useful in the manage...
متن کاملOperative findings after percutaneous pulmonary balloon dilatation of the right ventricular outflow tract in tetralogy of Fallot.
Since 1983 percutaneous balloon dilatation of the right ventricular outflow tract has been performed as an alternative to surgical palliation in selected cases of tetralogy of Fallot at the Royal Liverpool Children's Hospital. From 31 December 1984 to 31 December 1988, 27 of these patients underwent subsequent surgical correction. Age at operation ranged from 7 to 58 months (median 2.7 years). ...
متن کاملRight ventricular Hemodynamic Alteration after Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Children with Congenital Heart Disease
Introduction: In patients who underwent surgery to repair Tetralogy of Fallot, right ventricular dilation from pulmonary regurgitation may be result in right ventricular failure, arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. Hence, pulmonary valve replacement may be necessary to reduce right ventricular volume overload. The aim of present study was to assess the effects of pulmonary valve replacement on rig...
