[Complete correction of the tetralogy of Fallot without right ventriculotomy].
The authors present an improved technique for operative treatment of tetralogy of Fallot. Developed by Edmund's technique it complets and improves it in several ways making it suitable for nearly all forms of tetralogy of Fallot. The transatrial approach is intended by it's author to only selected cases of the malformation, namely with large pulmonary arteries a correct pulmonary annulus and moderate infundibular hypertrophy. The combined approach which we propose (transatrial and transpulmonary) gives us very good post-operative and short term results.
