Abstract Introduction: The right ventricular infundibular sparing approach (RVIS) to the repair
of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) avoids a full-thickness ventricular incision, typically utilized in the transinfundibular (TI) method.
Methods: We performed a retrospective, age-matched cohort study of patients who
underwent RVIS at Texas Children’s Hospital or TI at Children’s Hospital Medical
Center in Nebraska and subsequently underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
(CMR). We compared right ventricular end-diastolic and systolic volumes indexed to
body surface area (RVEDVi and RVESVi) and right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF)
as primary endpoints. Secondary endpoints were indexed left ventricular diastolic and
systolic volume (LVEDVi and LVESVi),… More >
