Although “fixed”, Patients born with tetralogy of Fallot are not „cured“. Improving survival and quality of life for this ever-increasing adultpopulation will continue to challenge the currentand future generations of cardiologists. Adult patients with tetralogy of Fallot should be seen by acardiologist specializing in the care of adults withcongenital heart disease, to be monitored for latecomplications. They need to be checked regularlyfor any subsequent complications or disturbancesof heart rhythm. The most common late complication is a right ventricular failure, which mayrequire subsequent surgery.A Manual of Transplantation TechniqueFeatures7 Complete review of the major challenges oftetralogy of Fallot 7 Key references provided atthe end of each chapter 7 Indications for clinicaldaily practiceContentsIntroduction.- Anatomy.- Genetics.- StemCells and Right Ventricle.- Pathophysiology.- Tetralogy of Fallot: late outcome.- Imaging Evaluation.- Functional Evaluation.- The Failing RightVentricle.- Timing for Rvot Management.- Transcatheter PVI.- Other Transcatheter Procedures.- Surgical PVI.- Other Surgical Procedures.Late Arrhythmias: Current Approach.- RightVentricula Management in ICU.Fields of interestsCardiology; Cardiac Surgery; Medical EducationTarget groupsUpper undergraduateDiscount groupMRThis book describes in detail a unique and veryprecise operative technique that uses autologouscartilage/bone grafts for the reconstruction ofload-bearing joint surfaces and for dowelling ofnon-unions.
