Abstract

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart defect with a prevalence of 0.5 per 1000 live births; TOF represents approximately 9% of all con-genital heart defects. Survival rates for adults with repaired TOF in childhood are now excellent [Knowles 2012]. The population of surviving adult patients with unrepaired TOF has been steadily increasing and recent advances in opera-tive techniques have allowed successful surgical treatment of these patients. This case report describes a successful surgical repair of TOF with giant pulmonary artery aneurysm in a 26-year-old male.
