Graphical abstract
iPLA is the total pulmonary valve leaflet area divided by the ideal pulmonary valve annulus area (z score of 0). In this study, measures of PV leaflet tissue such as iPLA were associated with achieving native secondary PV repair. Over the follow-up period of this study, PV repair outcomes compared favorably to PVR. PR, Pulmonary regurgitation; PV, pulmonary valve; iPLA, indexed pulmonary valve leaflet area; PVR, pulmonary valve replacement.
