Comparison of immediate outcomes of pulmonary valve-sparing and transannular patch techniques for correction of tetralogy of fallot

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The aim of this study was to compare postoperative mechanical ventilation duration in children who underwent complete ToF repair by either a pulmonary valve-sparing approach or a transannular patch. Univariate analysis was conducted to investigate the association between patient characteristics and prolonged mechanical ventilation (>24 hours), followed by multivariate analysis to identify predictors of prolonged ventilation. The findings of this study show a high incidence of severe PR in the transannular patch group (87.8%, P and amp;lt;0.001), which is consistent with those of Ismail et al . This shortterm outcome aligns with . . .
