    ObjectivesThe objectives of this review are to discuss the anatomy, pathophysiology, surgical repair, and perioperative management strategies for tetralogy of Fallot and its variants.Data SourceMEDLINE and PubMed.ConclusionsSignificant refinements have been made in the repair strategy for tetralogy of Fallot, based on improved understanding of postrepair physiology. Important considerations for timing and technique of surgery and perioperative management have been presented, and continued evolution is expected. Expanded use of the pulmonary valve reconstruction technique outlined herein, whatever the age of repair, may improve long-term outcome.
