✦ Synopsis

Diastolic prolongation of forward flow, or diastolic tail is present in unilateral branch pulmonary artery stenosis in patients after the arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries and after repair for tetralogy of Fallot. Interestingly, as a result of a diastolic tail, flow through the stenosed artery is comparable to that in the non-stenosed artery and therefore the impact of stenosis may be relieved.
