Coronary echocardiography in tetralogy of fallot: diagnostic accuracy, resource utilization and surgical implications over 13 years.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine the diagnostic accuracy and impact of the systematic use of coronary echocardiography in a large group of preoperative patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). BACKGROUND Accurate preoperative identification of an anomalous coronary artery crossing the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in patients with TOF is important to prevent coronary injury ...

Since Blalock published his first report on the surgical treat ment of pulmonary stenosis, we became greatly interested in this subject. While performing an necropsy on a ten year old child who had tetralogy we found an abnormal vessel which connected the left subclavian and left pulmonary arteries (Fig. 1); this vessel had a very small lumen and evidently was unable to supply enough oxygenated...

(Patterson and others 1974) This is because the sinistroventral conus cushion and sinistroinferior truncus cushion give rise to th...

متن کاملTetralogy of Fallot: A Surgical Perspective
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is an index lesion for all paediatric and congenital heart surgeons. In designing an appropriate operation for children with TOF, the predicted postoperative physiology must be taken into account, both for the short and long term. A favourable balance between pulmonary stenosis (PS) and pulmonary insufficiency (PI) may be critical for preservation of biventricular func...
