Pulmonary valve replacement (PVR), considered as the gold-standard treatment for PR, is performed to mitigate these late effects. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the midterm outcomes and predictors of adverse clinical outcomes (ACO).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>From May 2014 to December 2017, 42 patients with rTOF undergoing surgical or transcatheter PVR in our department were retrospectively included. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance was performed before PVR (pre-PVR), early after PVR (early post-PVR), and midterm after PVR (midterm post-PVR). Medical history and individual data were collected from medical records. ACO included all-cause death, new-onset arrhythmia, prosthetic valve failure, and repeat PVR.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The median follow-up duration was 4.7 years. PVR was performed at a median age of 21.6 years. There was no early or late death. Freedom from ACO at 3 and 5 years was 88.1 \u00b1 5% and 58.2 \u00b1 9%, respectively. RV end-diastolic volume index (RVEDVI) and end-systolic volume index (RVESVI) significantly reduced early after PVR and further decreased by midterm follow-up (pre-PVR vs. early post-PVR vs. midterm post-PVR: RVEDVI, 155.2 \u00b1 34.7 vs. 103.8 \u00b1 31.2 vs. 95.1 \u00b1 28.6 ml\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001; RVESVI, 102.9 \u00b1 28.5 vs. 65.4 \u00b1 28.2 vs. 57.7 \u00b1 23.4 ml\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001).
