The quantitative assessment of these anatomical features using modern cardiac imaging modality has been rarely discussed in the literature. All TOF scanned had in our center from 2013 till 2019 were included. The angle of aortic root rotation was recorded by measuring the angle between a line connecting the midpoint of the non-coronary sinus to the anterior commissure and another line along the interatrial septum. Rotation angles were correlated with proximal main pulmonary artery (MPA) size indexed to BSA. 287 TOF patients were included, 258 patients (91%) had TOF with pulmonary stenosis (TOF-PS) including 138 male (54%), median age 2\u00a0years (2\u00a0months\u201340\u00a0years), and 29 patients (9%) had TOF with pulmonary atresia (TOF-PA) including 17 male (59%), median age 5\u00a0years (1\u00a0m-33\u00a0years). The whole cases demonstrated clockwise rotation of the aortic root. The mean rotation angle in TOF-PS group was 52.6\u2009\u00b1\u200920.9\u00b0 and in TOF-PA group was 64.9\u2009\u00b1\u200913.9\u00b0. Proximal MPA diameter was 11.1\u2009\u00b1\u20095.9\u00a0mm\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>. There was a significant negative correlation between aortic root rotation angle and proximal MPA diameter (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009\u2212 0.262, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.000). The rotation angle of aortic root was significantly higher in TOF-PA compared to TOF-PS (64.9\u2009\u00b1\u200913.9\u00b0 vs. 52.6\u2009\u00b1\u200920.9\u00b0, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001, respectively). MSCT provide a quantitative measurement methodology of conal malseptation and its effect in TOF patients. There is a clockwise rotation angle of the aortic root in TOF patients that correlates negatively with proximal MPA size. TOF-PA have a larger rotation angle of aortic root.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-021-93814-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,12]],"date-time":"2021-07-12T10:03:29Z","timestamp":1626084209000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A quantitative assessment of aorta root rotation in patients with tetralogy of Fallot evaluated by MSCT"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Soha","family":"Romeih","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alaa","family":"Kaoud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Hashem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Abdelfattah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Gibreel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Elzoghby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mahmoud","family":"Shaaban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wesam El","family":"Mozy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"93814_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1890","DOI":"10.1016\/S0735-1097(02)01886-7","volume":"19","author":"JIE Hoffmann","year":"2002","unstructured":"Hoffmann, J.
