Reoperations After Repair of Tetralogy of Fallot

  • Chapter
Reoperations in Cardiac Surgery

Abstract

The tetralogy of Fallot was first successfully repaired at the University of Minnesota in 1954 using controlled cross-circulation from another human being (Lillehei et al. 1955). The first successful repair using a pump oxygenator was done at the Mayo Clinic in 1955 (Kirklin et al. 1955). Patch enlargement of the infundibulum (Warden et al. 1957) and of the pulmonary valve annulus (Kirklin et al. 1959) was reported in the early years of surgical experience, while the use of a right ventricular-pulmonary artery conduit for tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia appeared later (Rastelli et al. 1965; Ross and Somerville 1966). The subclavianpulmonary artery anastomosis for palliation of tetralogy was introduced in 1945 (Blalock and Taussig 1945). This was followed by a variety of systemic-pulmonary artery shunt procedures (Potts et al. 1946; Davidson 1955; Waterston 1962; de Leval et al. 1981). Relief of pulmonary stenosis by means of a closed palliative operation was described in 1948 (Sellors 1948; Brock 1948).
