Imaging findings in uncorrected tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonary atresia with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries and septic embolism
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is one of the most common congenital heart malformations comprising a ventricular septal defect, right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, right ventricular hypertrophy, and overriding aorta. A rare variant includes pulmonary atresia and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries. Altered hemodynamics within the functional single-ventricle results in turbulent flow and predisposes to endocardial vegetation formation which may consequently lead to thromboembolic events. We present a rare case of an adult survivor of uncorrected TOF with pulmonary atresia.

OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine the results of a novel transcatheter management approach in tetralogy of Fallot with diminutive pulmonary arteries. BACKGROUND Tetralogy of Fallot with diminutive pulmonary arteries and severe pulmonary stenosis is rare and resembles tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia: There is a high incidence of aortopulmonary collateral channels, arborizati...

BACKGROUND In our practice, we noticed an increased frequency of tracheobronchial branching abnormalities (TBAs) in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (ToF). This study aimed to determine whether an association exists between congenital TBAs and ToF with or without pulmonary atresia. METHODS AND RESULTS The frequency of TBAs on chest computed tomography was assessed in 55 patients with ToF wit...

متن کامل[The treatments and results of tetralogy of Fallot with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries].
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the indication and operative program of complete repair of tetralogy of Fallot with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (TOF-MAPCA). METHODS From January 2000 to May 2004, 9 patients with TOF-MAPCA including 5 patients with pulmonary atresia underwent complete surgical repair, 6 of them were male and 3 were female. The ages ranged from 3 to 9 years. All patients und...
متن کاملAortopulmonary collaterals in single-ventricle congenital heart disease: how much do they count?
Broadly defined, aortopulmonary collateral blood vessels (APCs) arise from the systemic arteries and supply blood to the pulmonary circulation. In the setting of acquired and congenital pulmonary and cardiac disease, the number and caliber of these vessels can increase and lead to a significant systemic-to-pulmonary shunt. APCs typically arise from the descending aorta, subclavian artery branch...
