However, little has been reported on the influence of arterial ductal stent (ADS) on the growth of pulmonary annulus and pulmonary artery, with subsequent valve-sparing repair.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Patients who underwent staged repair of tetralogy of Fallot with Pulmonary Stenosis with either ADS or surgical shunt were included. Echocardiographic and angiographic measurements of pulmonary annulus and pulmonary artery prior to initial palliation and complete repair were recorded.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 110 patients were included, 44 (40%) patients underwent ADS and 66 (60%) patients had surgical shunt. Pulmonary annulus and pulmonary arteries grew significantly following palliation with both ADS (P\u2009=\u20090.011) and surgical shunt (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.01), with a similar rate of increment (P\u2009=\u20090.205). There was no significant difference in the rate of valve-sparing repair between the 2 groups (MBTTS, 62.1% vs ADS, 47.7%, P\u2009=\u20090.149). However, patients who underwent ADS had shorter stays in hospital (P\u2009=\u20090.048). Reintervention rate and mortality rate in the interstage period were similar in both groups (P\u2009=\u20090.229 and P\u2009=\u20090.210, respectively). There was no reintervention in patients who successfully underwent valve-sparing repair following both palliation groups in the follow-up period.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n
