Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- TOF with RVOT stenosis. TOF is defined as anterio-cephalad deviation of the
ventricular outlet septum with no more than 50% aortic override and a single outflow
VSD.

- TOF with pulmonary atresia and confluent pulmonary arteries.

- Admitted with intent to treat (i.e. patient planned to undergo a primary or staged
repair).

- Patients with coronary artery anomalies, right aortic arch, and 22q11 deletion may be
included
Minimum age
No limit
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
- TOF with absent pulmonary valve

- Other major cardiac anomalies such as AVSD, multiple VSDs, right atrial isomerism, and
MAPCAs. In this instance, the definition of MAPCAs does not include dilated bronchial
collateral arteries.

- Unbalanced ventricles precluding biventricular repair

- Major genetic abnormalities/syndromes e.g. trisomy 13,18, and 21

- Major extra cardiac anomalies e.g. diaphragmatic hernia, omphalocele, absent sternum,
cerebral palsy

- Infective endocarditis as an indication for intra-cardiac repair

- Stroke in the last 30 days prior to palliation or intra-cardiac repair

- Known diagnosis of HIV or hepatitis B

- Any previous cardiac procedures

- Patient's circumstance that precludes completion of follow-up telephone call and/or
obtaining information from the 2-year cardiology follow-up

Summary
Brief summary
The aim is to conduct a prospective multi-centre international inception cohort study with an
enrollment goal of 3,000 TOF patients and 2 year follow-up post-repair. The proposed sample
size and methodology will result in statistically powerful results to allow for
evidence-based change to current TOF surgical practices.
