Does transatrial-transpulmonary approach improve outcomes compared with transventricular approach in non-neonatal patients undergoing tetralogy of Fallot repair?

A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether the transatrial-transpulmonary approach to tetralogy of Fallot repair in non-neonatal patients provides superior outcomes compared with the transventricular approach. Altogether, 175 papers were found using the reported search, of which 11 represented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. Two randomized...
