“…The most frequent reason for reoperation in this patient group is to replace the pulmonary valve either surgically or percutaneously [28,29]. There is evidence to suggest that patients with Down syndrome who have undergone tetralogy of Fallot repair come to pulmonary valve replacement more frequently than patients without Down syndrome.…”

Down syndrome remains the most common chromosomal abnormality in live-born infants in the world today. The association between Down syndrome and congenital heart disease (CHD) is well known, and it is widely recognized that CHD contributes significantly to the morbidity of children with Down syndrome. The reported incidence of CHD in Down syndrome patients is between 40 and 60%. The most commonly described defect is complete atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD), which comprises 30-40% of all cardiac defects. Complex genetic factors are involved. Routine cardiac screening of all newborn babies with Down syndrome is recommended. Expert groups suggest that the cardiac status of all children with Down syndrome should be established by 6 weeks of age to permit appropriate and timely treatment avoiding the establishment of irreversible pulmonary vascular disease that would make corrective surgery impossible.

“…Tetralogy of Fallot (characterized by infundibular hypoplasia and stenosis, malalignment VSD, RV hypertrophy, and an over-riding aorta) has a varied anatomic spectrum, including pulmonary stenosis, atresia, and absent pulmonary valve syndrome. Clinical presentation and management depend largely on the anatomy of the pulmonary valve and arterial architecture ( 1 , 2 , 3 ).…”

A cyanotic neonate with tetralogy of Fallot was found to have a congenitally inverted pulmonary valve. Diagnosis was made via echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. The valve opened retrograde into the right ventricle, which allowed severe regurgitation and prevented anterograde flow. This report is the first description of this anomaly in medical literature. ( Level of Difficulty: Intermediate. )
