[Tetralogy of Fallot associated with total anomalous drainage of the pulmonary veins. Report of 2 cases]

Abstract

The authors report on two cases of tetralogy of Fallot (TF) associated with total anomalous pulmonary venous return to the coronary sinus. The clinical manifestations in both children were the same as of classical TF and diagnosis was confirmed by cineangiography. The patients underwent total surgical correction and the first one died in the immediate post-operative period. The second patient had an uneventful recovery. The rarity of this association is the main reason of this report where clinical and surgical findings are discussed.
