Core Tip
Core Tip: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a common congenital heart disease. Complications following TOF repair, including pulmonary regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation (TR), and cardiac arrhythmia, can have a negative impact on the prognosis. In this case, the patient had been treated with percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation after TOF repair, but developed TR progression and was treated with transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement. No standardized treatment guidelines for similar patients exist, and the timing and modalities of treatment remain controversial. Therefore, whether patients who develop both types of valve regurgitation after TOF repair should be treated simultaneously or sequentially is important. A treatment plan should be developed based on the patient’s overall condition, with interventional techniques being the optimal option for patients with poor baseline conditions.
