AATS 2025: Reimagining Tetralogy of Fallot Repair

At the 105th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) in 2025, held in Seattle, WA, Dr. Osman Al Radi of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, presented a reproducible, valve-sparing alternative to the traditional transannular patch technique for Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) patients with non-preservable pulmonary valves. Utilising the Matrix Patch equine, he engineered a customised bicuspid valve. Preliminary outcomes demonstrated results comparable to conventional repairs, with promising indications of potential long-term benefits.
