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.

Several late sequelae of corrected tetralogy of Fallot have been found, including residual ventricular septal defect, restenosis of the pulmonary outflow tract, ventricular tachycardia, and right ventricular failure from pulmonary insufficiency.
