A successful case report of the total correction of tetralogy of fallot after the right ventricular outflow tract construction / 日本心臓血管外科学会雑誌

ABSTRACT

The total correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) after the right ventricular outflow tract construction without ventricular septal defect closure which is called central palliation is rarely reported. A case of TOF had been undergone the central palliation because of left ventricular hypoplasia in a 30 year-old woman, 19 years after Blalock-Taussig's shunt. She was performed successfuly on the total correction of TOF and pulmonary valve replacement at 35 years old, 5 years after the central palliation.
