This retrospective study of 434 infants and children undergoing TOF repair focused on how methods of handling hypoplastic pulmonary arteries affects long-term outcomes. The most agressive patching technique resulted in the highest incidence of reintervention, whereas patients who had no intervention for hypoplastic pulmonary arterties had the lowest

The authors studied the rate of publication of completed clinical trials performed in academic medical centers in the US. Among over 4,300 such trials, only 36% were published within 2 years of completion, and only 66% were ultimately published at any time. There was considerable variation in publication rates among institutions.

The authors determined the need for transannular patch enlargement (TAPE) in management of ToF by measuring the ratio between pulmonary annulus size to aortic valve annulus size (GA ratio). A retrospective analysis of 122 pts who had undergone ToF repair with or without TAPE was performed. GA ratios were smaller in patients undergoing TAPE. The GA
