Abstract
Right ventricle outflow tract aneurisms are of a rear complications of the tetralogy of Fallot repair. More frequently
they develop at pulmonary artery system hypoplasia after right ventricle outflow reconstruction without ventricle
defect closure. The aneurisms development, as a rule, is due to right heart side high system blood pressure or high
residual right ventricle pressure after congenital heart lesion complete correction. Usually small aneurisms can be
observed, but sometimes they can increase to giant size. The description of two successful re-do right ventricle outflow
tract reconstructions with giant aneurisms resection in 16 months after tetralogy of Fallot complete correction
are presented in this report.
