Transaortic Fallot repair in a grown-up patient: advantages in a situs inversus setting. Cardiol Young. 2012 ; 22(5):603-51047-9511http://hdl.handle.net/10668/1325Case Reports; Journal Article;We present the case studies of two adult patients with tetralogy of Fallot who were scheduled for surgery. After addressing the right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, the aorta was opened and the ventricular septal defect was approached in a straightforward manner as it was located just under the overriding aortic valve. The second patient presented with was a situs inversus, dextroapex Fallot. In this setting, the aortic approach simplified the repair expeditiously. After 2 years, both patients are in New York Heart Association class I, with no residual ventricular septal defect, no aortic regurgitation, and complete relief of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.enFallotGrown-upaortic repairSitus inversusCateterismo cardíacoEstudios de seguimientoTetralogía de FallotCateterismo cardíacoMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Surgical Procedures, Operative::Thoracic Surgical Procedures::Cardiac Surgical ProceduresMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Investigative Techniques::Epidemiologic Methods::Epidemiologic Study Characteristics as Topic::Epidemiologic Studies::Cohort Studies::Longitudinal Studies::Follow-Up StudiesMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Check Tags::MaleMedical Subject Headings::Named Groups::Persons::Age Groups::Adult::Middle AgedMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Congenital, Hereditary, and Neonatal Diseases and Abnormalities::Congenital Abnormalities::Situs InversusMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Congenital, Hereditary, and Neonatal Diseases and Abnormalities::Congenital Abnormalities::Cardiovascular Abnormalities::Heart Defects, Congenital::Tetralogy of FallotMedical Subject Headings::Anatomy::Cardiovascular System::Heart::Heart Valves::Aortic ValveMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Therapeutics::Catheterization::Heart Catheterizationresearch article22391340open access10.1017/S10479511120000301467-1107
