[Tetralogy of Fallot complicated by severe hemoptysis in the adult].
Fallot tetralogy with pulmonary artery atresia is a special situation in which the patient can survive up to middle-age. In these cases some complications such as hemoptysis can appear with difficult treatment that endangers the life of the patient. When the cause of bleeding is the arteriovenous shunts, which are frequent in the multiple vascular malformations originated in this congenital cardiopathy, the selective embolization of these malformations can be an effective option of treatment.
