“…One of the most frequent congenital cardiac abnormalities is TOF consisting of the coexistence of pulmonary artery stenosis, the subaortic ventricular septal defect, and an anterosuperior deviation of the aortic root and sub-valvular right ventricular hypertrophy (Niwa, 2005;Kim et al, 2011;Vaikunth et al, 2022).…”

We report a case of a 44-year-old woman surgically treated for tetralogy of Fallot who experienced an acute and extensive Stanford A type aortic dissection despite the meticulous follow-up. While aortic dilatation is prevalent in individuals with repaired tetralogy of Fallot, aortic dissection represents a rare consequence, that when it appears, is progressive and usually detected during the check-up visits. In the case reported, the dissection was unexpected and severe, and the patient’s clinical state worsened suddenly, leading to death after a few days. Constant awareness for aortic aneurysms is essential in the Fallot tetralogy population, nevertheless, several causes may contribute to the acute worsening of the clinical condition until the patient’s death.

The prevalence of congenital heart defects (CHDs) in adults has increased during the last few decades such that now there are more adults with CHD than children. Advances in the diagnosis and management of CHD in children has resulted in this phenomenon. This review indicated that transcatheter methods are successful in relieving obstruction associated with coarctation of the aorta, pulmonary stenosis and aortic stenosis. With regard to cyanotic CHD, the majority of patients presenting in adulthood are likely to be those that have had corrective or palliative surgery during infancy and childhood, although on rare occasion uncorrected defects may present for the first time in adulthood. Pathophysiologic effects of right to left shunt associated with cyanotic CHD are reviewed. Brief description of the anatomy of the most common cyanotic CHDs, namely, tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries, tricuspid atresia, total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, and truncus arteriosus was presented followed by a discussion of management strategies of the residual defects. Adults who did not have surgical correction in childhood should undergo surgical correction, but they may have a higher risk than that seen in children

The prevalence of congenital heart defects (CHDs) in adults has increased during the last decade such that now there are more adults with CHD than children. Advances in the diagnosis and management of CHD appear to be the reason for such a phenomenon. In this review only cyanotic CHD are addressed. The majority are likely to be those that have undergone corrective or palliative surgery, although rarely uncorrected defects may present in adulthood. Pathophysiologic effects of right to left shunt associated with cyanotic CHD are reviewed. Brief description of the anatomy of the most common cyanotic CHD, namely, tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries, truncus arteriosus, total anomalous pulmonary venous connection and tricuspid atresia is presented followed by its management at presentation. The residual defects and their long-term effects along with management strategies for each of the above defects during adulthood are reviewed. Adults who did not have surgical correction in childhood should undergo surgical correction, but they may have a higher risk than seen in children.
