Maurice Lev M.D., F.C.C.P.1 and Friedrich A. O. Eckner M.D.1

1. The complex tetralogy of Fallot shows marked variation in the position of the defect, the amount of overriding of the aorta, and the type and extent of infundibular stenosis.

2. In addition, there are various types of complexes which have tetralogy as their base. There are: tetralogy associated with (1) pulmonary atresia; (2) common A-V orifice; (3) absence of the pulmonary valve; (4) tricuspid stenosis; (5) mitral stenosis; (6) atrial septal defect; (7) aortic regurgitation, and (8) widely patent ductus arteriosus.
