Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a common cardiac malformation characterized by reduced pulmonary circulation. Long-term preservation of neopulmonary bicuspid valve function is crucial in paediatric cardiac surgery. In 2019, Iranian cardiac surgeon Amirghof ran A. introduced a novel method of forming a neopulmonary valve f rom the right atrial appendage. Despite numerous previous attempts to preserve the pulmonary valve using both autologous and foreign tissue, results were often disappointing. The usage of the right atrial appendage as a bicuspid valve in the pulmonary position offers an alternative method for correcting TOF with a deformed, hypoplastic, or aplastic pulmonary valve. However, further follow-up is required to obtain more reliable data.
