Abstract:
We report two patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot who underwent pulmonary valve replacement through a limited left anterolateral thoracotomy. We describe the technique in detail. Both patients were at risk of cardiac injury during repeat sternotomy. This approach reliably avoids the risk of cardiac injury during repeat sternotomy and appears to be safe, simple, and reproducible.
