[Tetralogy of Fallot: evolution of medical-surgical management (part 2)].
This review is divided into two parts: the first of which traces the evolution of medical and palliative techniques; the following is a selective account of surgical concepts and procedures; the emphasis is on therapeutic developments during the last 50 years. The second part approaches the surgical corrections and tries to explain the reinterventional causes and the residual defects responsible of cardiac failure.
