Prêtre and colleagues [1] report a novel technique of reconstituting the pulmonary annulus and valve complex in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) patients having a dilated right ventricle related to a transannular patch (TAP) repair. The strategy was used in 23% (12/52) of reoperative patients, with success occurring in 8 of the 12. The reconstituted valve was fully competent in 5 patients and had a mild leak in 3. Gradients were trivial in the 5 patients who had a tricuspid valve and up to a peak gradient of 23 mm Hg for the 3 patients having a bicuspid pulmonary valve.
