Impact of Pulmonary Flow Study Pressure on Outcomes After One-Stage Unifocalization

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the pulmonary flow study in (1) predicting the feasibility of concomitant intracardiac repair after one-stage unifocalization; and in (2) predicting long-term survival and the onset of right ventricular dysfunction after surgery.MethodsBetween October 1996 and July 2015, a flow study was obtained in 95 patients undergoing complete one-stage unifocalization for pulmonary atresia...
