[Tetralogy of Fallot with aortopulmonary window: report of a successful repair].
Tetralogy of Fallot is rarely associated with aortopulmonary window. A 6-month-old boy with tetralogy of Fallot, aortopulmonary window, pulmonary atresia, patent left superior vena cava and right aortic arch was operated successfully. Both great arteries were divided, the defect in the aortic wall was closed directly, and the defect in the pulmonary arterial wall was connected with a valved external conduit which was used for right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction. Although oliguria had been prolonged for 3 weeks post operatively, he recovered completely and RV/LV pressure ratio was less than 0.6 estimated by two-dimensional echocardiography at one month after operation.
