Excerpt

Muneuch and colleagues [1] sought to determine whether balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty (BPV) in babies with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) prevented early surgical correction. The results of BPV in 31 babies at a mean age of 19 days (range 14–33 days) revealed that early palliative BPV avoided early corrective surgery in only half of the babies but, did not prevent the placement of transannular patch. The severity of infundibular obstruction appears to be responsible, at least in part, for lack benefit of BPV. This is a thoughtfully conducted and well-written study. However, there are some issues that are worthy of further discussion. …
