[Surgical tactics in hypoplasia of branches of the pulmonary artery in patients with the tetrad of Fallot].
A quantitative method has been developed for the assessment of the summary section area of the main pulmonary artery branches in Fallot's tetrad, and its value for the prediction of radical surgery outcomes is demonstrated. Shunting operations are shown to have a considerable positive effect on the expansion of pulmonary arterial bed. The range of indications for complete correction of the defect is determined, and management strategy is specified for patients with narrow pulmonary arterial branches.
