3 Fig 2 (A) Tetralogy of Fallot with hypoplastic main pulmonary artery and small (bicuspid) pulmonary valve and annulus. An incision is made in the main pulmonary artery. (B) The pulmonary valve is sized with a metal dilator. (C) Commissurotomies are performed. (Adapted from [6], by permission of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.)

6 Fig 5 (A) Tetralogy of Fallot with a bicuspid pulmonary valve and commissures located at 10 o’clock and 4 o’clock. An incision has been made on the main pulmonary artery. (B) A counterincision has been made on the infundibulum. (C) The incision is curved to split precisely through the commissure. (Adapted from [6], by permission of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.)
