What is it about?

We report a case of 21 – year – old patient with tetralogy of Fallot and with coronary artery abnormality after staged cardiac surgeries. Due to an anomalous coronary artery, crossing the right ventricule outflow tract, the patient needed to conduit type of repair.

Why is it important?

We discuss patient management. About 3% of patients with tetralogy of Fallot have anomalous coronary artery. An anomalous coonary artery, crossing the right ventricle outflow tract, makes the reconstruction of RVOT by using a trans – annular patch impossible and it may necessitate a conduit type of repair.

Perspectives

Rare diseases are often invisible diseases, and patients are frequently misdiagnosed and underdiagnosed.
