Tetralogy of Fallot: Surgical Treatment

A. RODRIGUEZ DIAZ M.D., F.C.C.P. and H. ANIDO M.D.

Seventeen patients with tetralogy have been operated on with a mortality rate of 11.6 per cent.

The value of angiocardiography is emphasized, and its use is recognized as a routine exploration. It avoids fatalities in cases where no pulmonary artery is found.

The operation of a case of persistent left vena cava superior, opening in the left auricle, is reported.

The left thoracic approach and postero-lateral incision are recommended as they give the alternative of performing either Blalock's or Potts' operation.
