ABSTRACT
Primary repair of the tetralogy of Fallot with absent pulmonary valve syndrome (TOF/APV) is associated with high mortality rates of 17-33%, especially in neonates. Our standard strategy involves a staged repair with a first palliation, performed during the neonatal period, that includes main pulmonary septation with an ePTFE patch, pulmonary arterioplasty for reduction of vascular dilation, and a modified Blalock-Taussig shunt. We performed successful repairs on two neonates with TOF/APV, one symptomatic and the other non-symptomatic, with this strategy. Case 1 A 7-day-old boy had TOF/APV, with progressively worsening respiratory distress. His left bronchi, superior vena cava and left atrium were compressed by a dilated pulmonary artery, which was repaired by emergency surgery. Decreasing the diameter of the pulmonary artery (PA index from 2,550 to 525) relieved the compressed organs. Case 2 A 16-day-old boy with TOF/APV with a main pulmonary artery that increased in diameter from 8 to 17 mm in the course of a single day. He was treated in the same fashion as Case 1. At 1 year of age, an intracardiac repair with tricuspid anuuloplasty was performed successfully. This strategy is much safer than a primary repair and is a good choice for neonatal repair of TOF/APV.
