Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease. Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction, as the core technical step of radical surgery, plays a decisive role in postoperative hemodynamics and long-term quality of life. With the substantial improvement in early survival after TOF repair, clinical focus has progressively shifted toward the prevention and management of late complications, including right ventricular dysfunction, impaired exercise capacity, and the need for reintervention. However, RVOT reconstruction strategies and the selection of repair materials remain controversial. To standardize the clinical practice of definitive TOF repair, the National Society for Congenital Heart Diseases developed this expert consensus, focusing on three domains: postoperative outcomes after TOF repair, RVOT reconstruction strategies, and the reconstructive materials.
