Therapeutic Recommendations for Tetralogy of Fallot

Class I
1.Pulmonary valve replacement (surgical or percutaneous) for relief of symptoms is recommended for patients with repaired TOF and moderate or greater PR with cardiovascular symptoms not otherwise explained. (Level of Evidence: B-NR)
Class IIa
1.Pulmonary valve replacement (surgical or percutaneous) is reasonable for preservation of ventricular size and function in asymptomatic patients with repaired TOF and ventricular enlargement or dysfunction and moderate or greater PR. (Level of Evidence: B-NR)
2. Primary prevention ICD therapy is reasonable in adults with TOF and multiple risk factors for SCD. (Level of Evidence: B-NR)
Class IIb
1. Surgical pulmonary valve replacement may be reasonable for adults with repaired TOF and moderate or greater PR with other lesions requiring surgical interventions. (Level of Evidence: C-EO)
2. Pulmonary valve replacement, in addition to arrhythmia management, may be considered for adults with repaired TOF and moderate or greater PR and ventricular tachyarrhythmia. (Level of Evidence: C-EO)
