AI Article Synopsis
- Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a common congenital heart defect that causes low oxygen levels and can be treated with palliative procedures to improve oxygen saturation.
- This review explores various catheter-based interventions suitable for different age groups, focusing on palliative treatments such as duct stenting and valvuloplasty for children.
- It also discusses options for transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement in adults who have had surgical repairs for TOF, particularly for those with enlarged right ventricular outflow tracts.
Article Abstract
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease. Palliative procedures, either surgical or transcatheter, aim to improve oxygen saturation, affording definitive procedures at a later stage. Transcatheter interventions have been used before and after surgical palliative or definitive repair in children and adults. This review aims to provide an overview of the different catheter-based interventions for TOF across all age groups, with an emphasis on palliative interventions, such as patent arterial duct stenting, right ventricular outflow tract stenting, or balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty in infants and children and transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement in adults with repaired TOF, including the available options for a large, dilated native right ventricular outflow tract.
