Staged repair of pentalogy of Cantrell with tetralogy of Fallot.
We report a successful two-stage repair of tetralogy of Fallot associated with pentalogy of Cantrell. The first stage, performed in the neonatal period, consisted of repairing the omphalocele, separating the peritoneal from the pericardial cavities, and covering the heart. The second stage, performed at 6 years of age, consisted of complete intracardiac repair and placing the heart in the chest. The patient is alive and well 18 months after the operation.
