Resumo Fundamento Tendo em vista os casos de lactentes sintomáticos com Tetralogia de Fallot (TF), baixo peso ao nascimento e anatomia complexa, o implante de stent na via de saída do ventrículo direito (VSVD) tem sido indicado alternativamente à cirurgia de Blalock-Taussig (BT). Objetivo Avaliar...
Abstract Pulmonary venous connections may be infrequently abnormal in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). A special subgroup of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return,"scimitar cyndrome", and its coexistence with TOF is less frequently reported. It may proceed unnoticed, as cyanosis already predo...
Abstract Introduction: Reconstruction of right ventricular outflow tract during primary repair of tetralogy of Fallot often requires the placement of a transannular patch which results in pulmonary regurgitation (PR). We compared the short-term outcomes of bicuspid polytetrafluoroethylene membrane valve...
Tetralogy of Fallot is the most frequent cyanotic congenital heart disease. This is a case report of a pediatric patient who underwent her surgery with the monitorization of tranesopageal echocardiography...
Abstract Objective: To identify the best time for corrective surgery of tetralogy of Fallot (TF) in children aged 0-12 months and to report the most frequent complications during the first 3 years postoperatively. Methods: Systematic review of studies published between 2000 and 2017 on corrective surge...
ABSTRACT Potts anastomosis is a central systemic-pulmonary surgical shunt between the descending aorta and the left pulmonary artery, developed and subsequently disbanded in the 1950s to provide pulmonary blood flow in patients with tetralogy of Fallot. Blalock-Taussig shunt is a peripheral systemic pulm...
Abstract Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is one of the most prevalent congenital heart disease. Its surgical corrections may haemodinamically correct a disease, but the incisions may create scars that will originate ventricular arrhythmias. Even though life threatening arrhythmias are not common, some patients...
