Brief summary
Late right heart performance obligates attention to pulmonary valve preservation at TOF repair. Intraoperative balloon dilation of the annulus has enjoyed some enthusiasm, yet mid-term results show a discouraging reintervention rate and valve incompetence. Refined patient selection and modifications of the technique may improve results, but further study is needed.
