Tetralogy of Fallot

Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital cardiac malformation that consists of an interventricular communication, also known as a ventricular septal defect, obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract, override of the ventricular septum by the aortic root, and right ventricular hypertrophy.

Sequential Melody Valve Insertion After Repair of Tetralogy of Fallot Atrioventricular Septal Defect.
Kenny D, Prendiville T, Walsh KP, McGuinness J.
Ann Thorac Surg. 2018;105(3):e119-e121.
Repair of tetralogy of Fallot with atrioventricular septal defect may be associated with hemodynamic challenges in the postoperative period particularly as left atrial hypertension secondary to left atrioventricular valve dysfunction may exacerbate pulmonary regurgitation and augment low cardiac output.
