[Recurrent false infundibulo-pulmonary aneurysm after complete correction of Fallot tetralogy].
Infundibulo-pulmonary aneurysm is a rare complication of complete correction of Tetralogy of Fallot and its recurrence has not been previously reported. A girl with Tetralogy of Fallot with two small pulmonary branches underwent complete correction at 3 years of age with widening of the infundibulum, the pulmonary annulus and artery with a pediculated pericordial path. Five years later, the left parasternal systolic murmur increased in intensity due to an infundibulo-pulmonary aneurysm and severe stenosis of the bifurcation of the pulmonary artery confirmed by echocardiography and catheterisation. The child was reoperated with resection of the aneurysm and widening of the pulmonary tract and its two branches with a Dacron patch. Three years later, the aneurysm and pulmonary stenoses recurred and required percutaneous angioplasty and stenting. The inadequacy of the result led to a further surgical procedure.
