Several techniques designed to improve long-term results after repair of tetralogy of Fallot are described. We have recently embarked on a program focused on preserving the native pulmonary valve. Here, combined techniques are described in detail, including intraoperative pulmonary valve balloon dilatation, pulmonary valve reconstruction by delamination and resuspension of the leaflets, and pulmonary valve annulus augmentation. As with any other complex congenital heart disease, senior surgeons should select teaching cases, starting from the less severe side of the spectrum.
