Summary: This week we explore the notion of pulmonary valve function preservation at the time of TOF/PS repair with Dr. Ram Emani, Associate Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School/Boston Children's Hospital. Dr. Emani shares his insights from recent work he and colleagues have performed using a novel intraoperative balloon dilation approach. Can TOF/PS repair be performed without creating significant degrees of pulmonary valve regurgitation? We learn the answers this week.
