Abstract:
The most common complication after tetralogy of Fallot repair is pulmonary valve regurgitation. However, concomitant surgery for tricuspid valve regurgitation and/or aortic dilatation is occasionally required. Case presentation A 56-year-old woman who underwent surgery for tetralogy of Fallot at age 29 years was diagnosed with progressive tricuspid valve regurgitation, hepatosplenomegaly, and thrombocytopenia. Moreover, computed tomography and transesophageal echocardiography revealed regurgitation in pulmonary and mitral valves and dilatation of the ascending aorta. One month after splenectomy for increasing platelet count, she underwent pulmonary valve replacement, tricuspid and mitral valve annuloplasty, and ascending aortic replacement. Postoperatively, the intensive care stay was complicated because of ventricular dysfunction and long-term ventilation. After 1 week, the patient was disconnected from the respirator, and she was transferred on the 55th postoperative day to another hospital for rehabilitation, without permanent disabilities. Conclusion We herein reported a patient with repaired TOF who successfully underwent PVR, tricuspid and mitral valve annuloplasty, and ascending aortic replacement.
