DURING the past two decades great strides have been made in the surgical treatment of tetralogy of Fallot. Prior to 1944, only conservative medical treatment could be offered to these patients. Since the development of the systemic-pulmonary artery shunt operation that year,1 this procedure has been extensively employed all over the world. The symptomatic relief offered by this operation is wel...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot may develop chronic right ventricular dysfunction and hepatic congestion over time. We hypothesized that bile acid metabolism is altered in repaired tetralogy of Fallot patients and therefore sought to correlate right ventricular indices with serum bile acid levels. METHODS Indexed right ventricular end diastolic volume, as assess...

We report two cases of pheochromocytoma combined with tetralogy of Fallot who showed different clinical courses. Case 1 was a 45-year-old woman with a history of radical operation for tetralogy of Fallot at 20 years of age. She presented with sudden hypertensive attack, and was diagnosed with pheochromocytoma of the left adrenal gland. She was treated surgically, and her high plasma noradrenali...
