Abstract

TOF is the most common form of cyanotic heart disease

The clinical presentation depends on the severity of RVOTO

A ‘tet spell’ during surgery is best treated with volume loading and alpha agonists

Long-term outcomes after corrective surgery are generally good; some patients require secondary surgery for pulmonary incompetence and right ventricular dilatation.
