Relation Between Pulmonary Artery Pressures Measured Intraoperatively and at One-Year Catheterization After Unifocalization and Repair of Tetralogy with Major Aortopulmonary Collateral Arteries

To assess the relationships between pulmonary artery (PA) pressure and the PA:aortic systolic pressure ratio measured intraoperatively and at surveillance catheterization in patients achieving complete unifocalization and repair for tetralogy of Fallot with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (TOF/MAPCAs). This was a single-center retrospective cohort analysis of all patients who underwent complete repair of TOF/MAPCAs from 2002-2019 and received a postoperative surveillance catheterization at our center 6-24 months after surgery.
