[A case report of total repair in a 71-year-old patient with tetralogy of Fallot].
A 71-year-old male is presented as ever the oldest patient of tetralogy of Fallot who underwent successful radical surgery. Heart murmur was pointed out at the age of 10 years. The patient consulted us because of dyspnea and cough, and was noted to have cyanosis and clubbing fingers. Polycythemia was also detected by hemoglobin of 20.8 g/dl and hematocrit of 58.4%, and a low PaO2 of 48.5 mmHg at room temperature was pointed out. Preoperative echocardiography and cardiac catheterization indicated a ventricular septal defect, overriding of the aorta, and right ventricular outflow tract stenosis with a pressure gradient of 115 mmHg between the right ventricle and the main pulmonary artery. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, the ventricular septal defect was closed with a dacron patch and the right ventricular outflow tract was enlarged by a patch of collagen-coated vascular graft with a commissurotomy of the pulmonary valve. Postoperatively, cyanosis disappeared and the pressure gradient was decreased to 26 mmHg.
