Abstract | Tetralogy of Fallot is only rarely associated with aortic valvar disease. We present a child who had uncomplicated repair of tetralogy of Fallot at 16 months of age, and who developed mild aortic stenosis three years later, with mild to moderate aortic incompetence being seen two years subsequent to that event. No aortic valvar disease had been noted prior to surgery. No intervention is planned at this stage but the condition warrants further careful followup. Aortic valvar disease is very rarely associated with tetralogy of Fallot, with only a handful of cases reported in the literature. |
