Table 1 Repaired tetralogy of Fallot and significant pulmonary regurgitation*: indications for pulmonary valve replacement.
| Compelling | Subjective ↓ in exercise ability |
| Sustained objective ↓ in exercise capacity | |
| Symptomatic VT/syncope | |
| Sustained VT on 24 hour ECG monitoring | |
| Serial RV dilatation/↓ in RV ejection fraction | |
| Increasing RV end‐systolic volume | |
| Onset tricuspid regurgitation with RV dilatation or atrial arrhythmias | |
| Strong | QRS >180 ms or serial increase in QRS duration |
| Surgery indicated for other reason (for example, residual VSD) | |
| Pregnancy contemplated | |
| Debatable | RV volume >170 ml/m2 |
| 150 ml/m2 | |
| Patient preference |
*Pulmonary regurgitation fraction >30%.
RV, right ventricle; VSD, ventricular septal defect; VT, ventricular tachycardia.
