Complete percutaneous repair of Tetralogy of Fallot in adult: a case report.

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common congenital cyanotic heart disease and is characterized by an antero-superior deviation of the infundibular septum with a consequent large malaligned ventricular septal defect (VSD) and a pulmonary and sub-pulmonary (infundibular) stenosis. Surgical repair has been the cornerstone of treatment that is electively performed early in their lives between 3 and 6 months of age. With advancements in transcatheter interventions, the complete percutaneous repair of TOF, a complex disease with multiple treatable lesions, is becoming a conceivable possibility.

Article Synopsis
- Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic heart defect, characterized by four key anomalies affecting heart function.
- These anomalies include a large ventricular septal defect, obstruction in the right ventricular outflow tract, an aorta that overrides the septal defect, and right ventricular hypertrophy.
- TOF can have variations involving pulmonary atresia, significant stenosis in pulmonary arteries, and may include additional conditions like atrial septal defects and abnormal coronary structures.
Case Report: An unusual case of a transposition of the great arteries with a double aortic arch: a highly complex fetal diagnosis with an unpredictable outcome.

Published data estimate the prevalence of the vascular ring at approximately 7 per 10,000 live births. The association of a double aortic arch with a D-transposition of the great arteries has been rarely described in the literature. In this study, we report the prenatal diagnosis of a 28-year-old woman.

Five dogs and two cats with a diagnosis of double-chambered right ventricle or primary infundibular stenosis were referred to undergo a combined cutting balloon and high-pressure balloon technique. At admission five cases were asymptomatic, one had a history of syncope and one had signs of right-sided congestive heart failure. Each patient underwent a complete transthoracic echocardiogram, thoracic radiographs, an angiogram and the combined interventional procedure.

Article Synopsis
- Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital heart defect usually diagnosed in childhood, but some adult cases exist.
- A 78-year-old Japanese woman with severe symptoms was treated for this condition, including right ventricle hypertrophy and significant heart complications.
- Ultimately, she received successful surgical correction due to the development of infective endocarditis, which highlighted the need for intervention at her advanced age.
