متن کاملTetralogy of Fallot with diminutive pulmonary arteries: preoperative pulmonary valve dilation and transcatheter rehabilitation of pulmonary arteries.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine the results of a novel transcatheter management approach in tetralogy of Fallot with diminutive pulmonary arteries. BACKGROUND Tetralogy of Fallot with diminutive pulmonary arteries and severe pulmonary stenosis is rare and resembles tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia: There is a high incidence of aortopulmonary collateral channels, arborizati...

متن کاملPrenatal diagnosis of tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia.
Tetralogy of Fallot involves an abnormal embryological development in which an unequal conotruncal division results in a small pulmonary artery and a great aortic artery. In its most severe form, the infundibulum of the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery can be atretic with the anomaly commonly referred to as pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect. Reported here is a case of pre...
متن کاملTetralogy of Fallot and pulmonary atresia/ventricular septal defect.
Surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot is associated with excellent results. Long-term complications include arrhythmias, sudden death, and right ventricular aneurysm formation. Reoperation is necessary in approximately 5% of patients for residual ventricular septal defect, pulmonary regurgitation, or pulmonary stenosis. Pulmonary atresia/ventricular septal defect is a more complex situation, a...
