Synopsis

Our purpose was to evaluate the correlations between right ventricular (RV) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) at cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) scheduled for pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) and post-PVR functional data. After assessing a semiquantitative LGE scoring for the RV, we observed a correlation between such score and RV post-PVR outcomes appraised at CMR. The assessment of RV LGE before PVR may provide prognostic insights on post-PVR functional outcomes, potentially facilitating a patient-tailored treatment pathway.
