Overview
Although this is an invasive method, it is possible to confirm the diagnosis and obtain additional anatomical and hemodynamic data, including the location and magnitude of right to left shunting, the level and severity of right ventricular outflow obstruction, the anatomical features of the right ventricular outflow tract and the main pulmonary artery and its branches, and the origin and course of the coronary arteries.
The(ACC/AHA) recommendations for interventional catheterization in patients with previously repaired Tetralogy of Fallot [1](DONOT EDIT)
| “ |
Class I 1. Interventional catheterization in an ACHD center is indicated for patients with previously repaired tetralogy of Fallot with the following indications:
Class IIa 1. Interventional catheterization in an ACHD center is reasonable in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot to eliminate a residual ASD or VSD with a left-to-right shunt greater than 1.5:1 if it is in an appropriate anatomic location. (Level of Evidence: C) |

The(ACC/AHA) recommendations for diagnostic and interventional catheterization for adults With Tetralogy of Fallot [1](DONOT EDIT)
| “ |
Class I 1. Catheterization of adults with tetralogy of Fallot should be performed in regional centers with expertise in ACHD. (Level of Evidence: C) 2. Coronary artery delineation should be performed before any intervention for the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). (Level of Evidence: C) Class IIb 1. In adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot, catheterization may be considered to better define potentially treatable causes of otherwise unexplained left ventricle (LV) or right ventricle (RV) dysfunction, fluid retention, chest pain, or cyanosis. In these circumstances, transcatheter interventions may include:
