Successful Management of Pregnancy in Uncorrected Tetralogy of Fallot with Pulmonary Atresia.

چکیده
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the commonest congenital cyanotic heart disorder, accounting for 5–6 % of them [1]. It is characterized by a large ventricular septal defect, right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, right ventricular hypertrophy, and aorta overriding the interventricular septum. Most patients with TOF undergo reparative surgery in childhood. TOF with pulmonary atresia is the extreme end of anatomic spectrum which is difficult to correct surgically. Pregnancy in uncorrected TOF entails serious risks including increased maternal morbidity, mortality up to 15 %, and poor perinatal outcome [2]. We report a case of pregnancy in uncorrected TOF with pulmonary atresia which was successfully managed at a tertiary care center with multidisciplinary approach.

Background: Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease. The systolic and diastolic function in both ventricles is altered even after successful corrective surgery for this defect with a transannular patch. Pulmonary regurgitation, a common complication after this treatment, is usually well tolerated in childhood. The aim of this study was to assess the combined dia...

Introduction: In patients who underwent surgery to repair Tetralogy of Fallot, right ventricular dilation from pulmonary regurgitation may be result in right ventricular failure, arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. Hence, pulmonary valve replacement may be necessary to reduce right ventricular volume overload. The aim of present study was to assess the effects of pulmonary valve replacement on rig...

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is one of the most common congenital heart malformations comprising a ventricular septal defect, right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, right ventricular hypertrophy, and overriding aorta. A rare variant includes pulmonary atresia and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries. Altered hemodynamics within the functional single-ventricle results in turbulent flow an...
