title: Repair of tetralogy of Fallot with ascending and proximal aortic arch aneurysm: case report.
abstract: Abnormalities in the aorta of patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) can lead to aortic dilatation and aortic regurgitation. We report a six-year-old male with TOF with dysplastic aortic valve, severe aortic regurgitation, and aortic aneurysm involving the aortic root, ascending aorta, and the proximal aortic arch, who underwent TOF repair with aortic replacement up to the proximal aortic arch with a composite graft without circulatory arrest.
