Abstract: | Congenital extracardiac shunts in tetralogy of Fallot may significantly alter the history and clinical findings and also have significant management implications. An unusual variant of severe tetralogy of Fallot in a 54-year-old man enabled long survival with minimal symptoms. The patient had pulmonary valvular and infundibular stenosis, a large ventricular septal defect, an overriding aorta, and large volume systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunting from his right internal mammary and accessory internal mammary arteries to his right pulmonary artery. |
