| Abstract: | The commonly used technique to facilitate intracardiac exposure during transatrial repair of tetralogy of fallot involves considerable retraction of the tricuspid valve using retractors. We describe an alternative surgical technique in which it is possible to dispense away with the retractors. The advantages of such a technique are discussed. |
