Role of great artery annulus ratio to predict transannular patch enlargement in repair of tetralogy of Fallot

Abstract Background Traditionally, the pulmonary valve annulus (PVA) z-score is used to predict the requirement of transannular patch enlargement (TAPE) of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and main pulmonary artery (MPA) in repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). PVA z-score is highly variable an...
