(IV-2A.1) Adult patients with Fallot Syndrom Lidia Tomkiewicz- Pajak MD., PhD., Joanna Luszczak MD., Prof. Piotr Podolec MD., PhD.
Background Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease. It is caused by the antero-supetior displacement of the infundibular septum what leads to the onset of the components of the ToF: malaligned ventricular septal defect (VSD), overriding aorta, right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) and, secondary, right ventricle (RV) hypertrophy. Uncorrected ToF has short life expectancy- about 25% of patients survive to age of 10 years and only 5% to age of 40 years[1,2]. However, long-term …

(IV-2A.1) 18-year-old patient with tetralogy of Fallot and coronary artery abnormality Smaś-Suska M.MD, Tomkiewicz-Pająk L. MD,PhD, Tyrka A. MD, Olszowska M. MD, PhD, Miszalski-Jamka T. MD, PhD, Podolec J. MD
Keywords: coronary artery abnormality, tetralogy of Fallot Background Tetralogy of Fallot is one of the most common cyanotic congenital cardiac diseases. This heart defect consists of ventricular septal defect, obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract, overriding aorta and right ventricular hypertrophy. About 3% of patients have anomalous left anterior descending coronary artery which may necessitate a conduit type of repair. Conduits connect right ventricle and main pulmonary artery. There are two types of conduits: valved and non-valved. About 40% …
