Tetralogy of Fallot with complete atrioventricular canal: a report of successful surgical treatment.
A case of successful surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot with complete atrioventricular canal in 4 year old female child is reported. Double patch technique and combined right atrial and right ventricular (RV) approach were used to repair this defect. The ventricular patch was tailored wide and redundant anteriorly in the form of a sail to prevent subaortic obstruction. Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction was relieved through an infundibular incision with subsequent use of subannular pericardial patch. The relevant literature on the management of this rare anomaly is briefly reviewed.
