## TL;DR

This paper reviews heart, valve, and blood vessel issues in patients who had surgery for a common heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot.

## Contribution

The paper provides a summary of abnormalities after Tetralogy of Fallot repair and compares surgical strategies.

## Key findings

- Myocardial, valvular, and vascular abnormalities are common after Tetralogy of Fallot repair.
- Different surgical strategies may lead to variations in these abnormalities.
- The review highlights the importance of understanding long-term outcomes post-repair.

## Abstract

Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common heart defect associated with cyanosis characterized by the co-occurrence of pulmonary stenosis, right ventricular hypertrophy, and ventricular septal defect with over-riding of the aorta. The present review purposed to summarize myocardial, valvular and vascular abnormalities, which were described in a series of patients following repair of tetralogy of Fallot. It was also aimed to describe potential differences in these parameter using different surgical strategies.
