[Analysis of pulmonary valve function in patients with tetralogy of Fallot after radical surgery].

Objective: To analyze the pulmonary valve function in patients with tetralogy of Fallot after radical surgery. Methods: Clinical data of 263 patients (119 male, mean age (33.2±11.5) years old) with tetralogy of Fallot underwent radical surgery in our hospital from January 2010 to June 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. According to age, patients were divided into 14-17 years old group (14 cases), 18-29 years old group (100 cases), 30-39 years old group (61 cases) and above 40 years old group (87 cases). The patients were divided into pulmonary regurgitation group (87 cases) and control group (176 cases) according to weather they have moderate or severe pulmonary regurgitation. Echocardiographic data were compared among groups. Results: A total of 83 patients received re-operation. The median age of the primary radical operation was 9 (5, 13) years, and the median time from the primary radical operation to echocardiographic follow-up was 5 (1, 13) years. Among the 263 enrolled patients, prevalence of pulmonary regurgitation was 36.1% (95/263), and pulmonary stenosis was evidenced in 28 patients (10.6%). The ratio of moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation was 14.3% (2/14), 27.0% (27/100), 32.8% (20/61) and 37.9% (33/87) in 14-17 years old group, 18-29 years old group, 30-39 years old group and above 40 years old group, respectively (P=0.029), while prevalence of moderate and severe pulmonary regurgitation, moderate and severe pulmonary valve stenosis, pulmonary valve transvalvular pressure >40 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), right atrial and right ventricular enlargement ratio were similar among groups (all P>0.05). The ratio of moderate and severe tricuspid regurgitation and right ventricular enlargement in the pulmonary regurgitation group was significantly higher than in the control group (40.2% (35/87) vs. 27.3% (48/176) and 96.6% (84/87) vs. 87.5% (154/176), all P<0.05), while left ventricular ejection fraction, right atrial enlargement, and right ventricular wall thickness were similar between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Pulmonary regurgitation is a common clinical feature among survivors of tetralogy of Fallot patients after radical surgery, and moderate to severe pulmonary regurgitation increases the risk of tricuspid regurgitation and enlargement of the right ventricle.
