Number of Participants Randomized to PVR Via Catheter or SurgeryPrimary· 2-3 years
Participants will be randomized by computer by the statistician at the Data Coordinating Center (DCC) at Northwestern University (NU) who will maintain the schedule; this will be a 2:1 randomization of PVR to no-PVR. There will be no blinding and the assignment will not be concealed from the investigators. There will be no stratifications within each group.

Sponsor's own description
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart defect with the vast majority of survivors of corrective surgery left with some degree of right ventricular (RV) volume overload due to pulmonary regurgitation (PR) which cause RV enlargement with right heart failure, diminished biventricular function, ventricular arrhythmia, sudden death and decreased exercise performance over time. Pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) has been thought to ameliorate these complications but the timing of replacement has yet to be determined with equipoise at the moment in this decision making process. As nearly all studies in this regard are retrospective with much less data in pediatric TOF than adults, this pilot trial sets the stage to create a prospective randomized trial in the teenage years.
