UNUSUAL RIB NOTCHING IN TETRALOGY OF FALLOT

Tetralogy of Fallot. Its unusual variants and its simulators.

Aspergillus Fumigatus Endocarditis after Total Correction of Tetralogy of Fallot

There are few studies about post-cardiac surgery fungal infections especially by Aspergillus fumigatus. In this paper we report a case of Aspergillus fumigatus endocarditis after tetralogy of Fallot total correction (TFTC), and permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation. A five-year-old female patient with current history of total correction of tetralogy of fallot was admitted in Rajaie Ca...

A rare cause of unilateral rib notching.

From the Department of Cardiology, Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences & Research, Bangalore, India. Manuscript received September 27, 2012; accepted October 2, 2012. A19-year-old male with cyanosis and clubbing was diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Chest x-ray (A) showed prominent rib notching involving the left hemithorax (arrow). Major aortopulmonary collaterals (arrows...

Tetralogy of Fallot

The considerable body of clinical and physiologic data in patients with the tetralogy of Fallot that has been accumulated over the past 15 years now indicates that the original concept of the lesion as a single, fairly narrowly limited entity is no longer valid. The tetralogy can now be demonstrated to occupy a broad spectrum in the field of congenital cardiac anomalies, representing widely var...

Tetralogy of Fallot

Hearts with Fallot's tetrad from 33 children dying at the age from 14 days to 8 years were studied. Analysis of the morphological features of the defect revealed its typical anatomic signs: anteroleft shift of conic septum (oblique orientation); reorientation of the structures of inflow and outflow parts of the right ventricle infundibular pulmonary stenosis the occurrence of which may be due t...
