title: [Right ventricular regional wall motion and function after tetralogy repair].
abstract: The right ventricular (RV) function is very important after correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) similarly to left ventricular (LV) function. The influence to RV contraction caused by RV outflow tract patch after repair of TOF is serious. There are a few literatures about contraction mode of RV but we can't see any reports about regional RV wall motion before and after surgery of TOF. This paper is the first report about RV regional wall motion and function after 20 cases of tetralogy repair. We would emphasize the following points. 1) Regional wall motion of RV at antero-basal and anterolateral is getting worse but is improved at anteroapical of RV. 2) Appropriate rate of RV systolic pressure to LV systolic pressure just after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass and rate of patch length to RV length is below 0.5 and 0.4 respectively. 3) There is positive correlation between RV ejection fraction and wall motion at anteroapical of RV.
