    2013, Asian Journal of Surgery
    Citation Excerpt :

    These findings are contradicted by other studies showing the deleterious effects of pulmonary insufficiency on the right ventricle. Cardiac magnetic resonance cine examinations of TOF patients late after repair have demonstrated that PI is closely associated with TAP and results in significant RV dysfunction, even in asymptomatic patients.24,25 Gatzoulis and associates26 showed that PI and TAP are associated with the development of ventricular tachycardia and sudden death late after TOF repair.

    Citation Excerpt :

    Although the long-term adverse outcomes of transannular patching (TAP) in the repair of tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) are well established, there has not been a consequent decline in TAP frequency in practice.1–6
