Aspergillus Fumigatus Endocarditis after Total Correction of Tetralogy of Fallot
There are few studies about post-cardiac surgery fungal infections especially by Aspergillus fumigatus. In this paper we report a case of Aspergillus fumigatus endocarditis after tetralogy of Fallot total correction (TFTC), and permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation. A five-year-old female patient with current history of total correction of tetralogy of fallot was admitted in Rajaie Ca...
متن کاملRelationship between Polycythemia and Surgical Mortality in Patients Undergoing Total Correction for Tetralogy of Fallot.
SELECTION of the most suitable operation for patients with Fallot's tetralogy should be based upon a knowledge of the risk involved. Results of the Blalock-Taussig operation have been thoroughly studied.1 Shunt operations can be performed with good knowledge of general risk to the patient and with assurance that the result will most often be dramatic and recovery prompt. At best, however, the r...
متن کاملIrreversible pulmonary hypertension after correction of tetralogy of Fallot.
A case of tetralogy of Fallot in which irreversible pulmonary hypertension d e veloped in the postoperative period is presented. A recent cardiac catheterization has shown this to be caused by reopening of the ventricular septum and complete relief of infundibular pulmonic stenosis. The patient's hemodynamics are now those of a ventricular septal defect with reversal of shunting. The need for c...
متن کاملA Case of Uncorrected Tetralogy of Fallot Undiagnosed Until Adulthood and Presenting With Polycythemia
Congenital heart defects with right-to-left shunt are one of the hypoxia-related causes of acquired secondary polycythemia (SP). Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is the most common congenital cyanotic heart disease in children. Cases of uncorrected ToF in adult ages are rare. This paper reports a woman detected with elevated hemoglobin level during routine tests performed for infertility therapy and s...
متن کاملTetralogy of Fallot
The considerable body of clinical and physiologic data in patients with the tetralogy of Fallot that has been accumulated over the past 15 years now indicates that the original concept of the lesion as a single, fairly narrowly limited entity is no longer valid. The tetralogy can now be demonstrated to occupy a broad spectrum in the field of congenital cardiac anomalies, representing widely var...
