Pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) reduces pulmonary regurgitation and decreases right ventricular (RV) dilation, but its long-term impact on ventricular tachycardia (VT) and mortality is unknown. This study aimed to determine the incidence of death and VT in TOF after PVR and to test the hypothesis that PVR leads to improvement in these outcomes.
