Abstract
Long-standing effects of pulmonary regurgitation after transannular patch repair in Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) can be especially deleterious in the setting of combined ToF and complete atrioventricular septal defect (CAVSD). We present a technique for a complete repair of combined ToF/CAVSD using right atrial appendage tissue to create a competent neo-pulmonary valve. This technique provides advantages of right heart protection via pulmonary valve competence and the use of living tissue capable of growth with the patient, potentially obviating the need for repeat interventions.
