Abstract:

Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cyanotic congenital heart defect. Since the first radical correction in 1954, treatment strategy is constantly being improved. Modern treatment strategies for tetralogy of Fallot result high long-term survival (30-year survival ranges from 68.5 to 90.5%). In this review, the authors discuss modern strategies for correction of classic tetralogy of Fallot with right ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Choice palliative intervention, stages and terms of correction of this congenital heart disease are discussed.
