Overview
Pulmonary angiography may play a role among patients with TOF repair having pulmonary regurgitation.
Pulmonary angiography
- Pulmonary angiography may play a role to follow up patients who undergo repair for tetrology of Fallot to assess for pulmonary regurgitation (PR).[1]
- In PR, opacification of the right ventricle is noticed following the injection of contrast into the pulmonary artery due to the regurgitant jet.
