The Surgical Treatment of the Tetralogy of Fallot

چکیده
with a small ventricular communication, to a large ventricular septal defect dominating the picture with mild obstruction. When the pulmonary stenosis is mild, whether the ventricular septal defect is small or large, a left-to-right shunt is always present, giving the clinical picture of a ventricular septal defect. On the other hand, if the stenosis is severe and the ventricular septal defect is small, anatomically or functionally (McCord, Van Elk, and Blount, 1958; Vogelpoel and Schrire, 1960a; Hoffman, Rudolph, Nadas, and Gross, 1960), the clinical picture is that of severe pulmonary stenosis with an intact ventricular septum. When the septal defect is large and the stenosis

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...
متن کاملEarly post operative mortality of Total Correction of Tetralogy of Fallot
Introduction: Since 1954, after the first surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), several innovations have occurred in cardiac surgery, especially in children. One stage complete repair of TOF is currently possible even in infancy; however, complications such as hypoxemia, arrhythmia, cardiac dysfunction, sudden death, and valvular disorders may happen. In this study, we evaluated the res...
متن کاملAspergillus 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...

Background and Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze our indications, surgical procedures, and clinical outcomes of patients undergoing reoperation after surgical correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Methods: Thirty seven consecutive patients who underwent reoperation late after intra-cardiac repair of TOF within a period of 10 years were assessed. Results: The most co...
متن کاملRight ventricular Hemodynamic Alteration after Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Children with Congenital Heart Disease
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...
متن کاملCongenital Aortocaval Fistula from Right Subclavian Artery to Superior Vena Cava in an Adult with Tetralogy of Fallot
Congenital aortocaval fistula in association with complex congenital heart disease has never been described before. We represent an adult with tetralogy of fallot and an undiagnosed subclavian artery to superior vena cava fistula in previous catheterisms. He underwent surgical correction, successfully. After 8 months post operation he was doing well with improved functional capacity and no ...
