Abstract

Pulmonary regurgitation is the most important sequellae after correction of Tetralogy of Fallot and has a considerable impact over the right ventricle. Surgery has demonstrated low early mortality after pulmonary valve replacement and good long-term outcomes, remaining nowadays the gold standard treatment of pulmonary regurgitation in rTOF patients. Nevertheless, transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation has emerged as a new, safe and efficient alternative to surgical valve replacement. In this review article, we try to evaluate and compare both techniques to find out which is the best therapeutic option in this patients.
