[Implantation of mechanical pulmonary and tricuspid valve prostheses at a distance from complete repair of Tetralogy of Fallot].
The authors report the case of a 39 years old woman operated for tetralogy of Fallot at the age of 6. Multiple complications due to postoperative atrioventricular block and a poor surgical result on the pulmonary outflow tract led to several reoperations. Right ventricular dysfunction with pulmonary regurgitation and mitral tricuspid valve disease in a context of endocarditis on the pacing catheter led to double pulmonary and tricuspid valve replacement with mechanical prostheses. The outcome at follow-up at 3 years is good. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case of double mechanical valve replacement of the right heart after complete repair of tetralogy of Fallot.
