Abstract
Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD) with a frequency of about 1 in 3600 newborns and 3.5–4% of all CHDs. According to data, the long-term survival rate after a correction of tetralogy of Fallot continues to increase and is already more than 90% in the 5th decade of life. At the same time, the frequency of re-interventions in adulthood after the correction can reach 40%. The main reasons for the reinterventions include valve pathology – insufficiency of tricuspidal or aortic valves, stenosis of the pulmonary artery or its branches, insufficiency of the pulmonary artery valve with progressive dilatation and right ventricular dysfunction, heart rhythm disorders, etc. In some cases, there may be a combination of these conditions, which requires appropriate decisions on treatment tactics. This report presents a case of treatment of a patient for correction of tetralogy of Fallot.
