Introduction Most common cyanotic congenital anomaly Incidence 3.26 per 10,000 live births (about 1300 new
cases per year in the United States)
1888, Etienne-Louis Arthur Fallot described three
cyanotic patients with four similar anatomic features: Stenosis of the pulmonary artery Intraventricular communication Deviation of the origin of the aorta to the right Concentric right ventricular hypertrophy
Embriology: there is anterior and cephalad deviation
of the infundibular septum. Malaligned ventricular septal defect (VSD). Primary problem in tetralogy of Fallot is underdevelopment of the pulmonary infundibulum Right ventricular hypertrophy: systemic right ventricular systolic pressure.
This constellation Tetralogy of Fallot 7-10% of congenital heart lesions Almost equal in males and females (slight male >)
Natural History Approximately 25% of untreated patients with TOF
and RVOT obstruction die within the first year of life, 40% by 4 years, 70% by 10 years, and 95% by 40 years
TOF1. Pulmonary Stenosis2. Right Ventricular Hypertrophy
3. Ventricular Septal Defect4. Overriding of the Aorta
ASSOCIATIONS 15% have extra-cardiac anomolies Includes chromosomal abn like Downs, Di George and
velocardiofacial syndromes (del chr 22), Alagille syndrome (mutations in Jagged1) Other genetic, non-syndromic abn have been documented in patients with TOF, including mutations in transcription factor NKX2.5 in approximately 4 % In 70% of TOF patients genetic etiology is unidentified TOF is frequently associated with
Fetal hydantoin syndrome Fetal carbamazepine syndrome Fetal alcohol syndrome Maternal PKU birth defects
Variants Simple tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary stenosis
(61%) Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia (33%) Tetralogy of Fallot with absent (or dysplastic)
pulmonary valve (3%) Tetralogy of Fallot with common atrioventricular canal
(3%)
Blue or Tet spells Hyperneic and Cyanosis Gasping Syncope
restless
respirations
TET SPELL MANAGEMENT Calm the patient, do not stimulate Increase venous return If IV, bolus of fluids
Sedation (Morphine) Intubation/paralysis Na bicarbonate Phenyephrine
RX AP Boot or Wooden Shoe Hypertrophied RV causes a right apical shadow Aorta is large and it may arch to the right.
EKG
Right axis deviation Right or combined ventricular hypertrophy Right atrial hypertrophy (prominent p waves in V1) Partial or complete right bundle branch block Most commonly seen after surgical repair
TOF Treatments Infant: Maintain PDA with IV PgE1 (0.05-0.2
mg/Kg/min) Propanolol PO fq of spells (1mg/Kg/dose) Maintain good hydration and temperature.
ANGIOGRAMS
LV angio large VSD (*), Aorta is over-riding the interVentricular septum (IVS)
RV angio subvalvar obstruction is so severe that with systole there is no contrast in RVOT. Small ridge of supravalvar narrowing
SURGICAL MANAGEMENT Palliation BTS in 1945. now been modified using the
Gortex tube to create the connection b/w Subclavian Artery and Pulmonary Artery. Still used in infants not good candidates for intracardiac repair
premature, hypoplastic pulm arteries, coronary art anatomy.
Intracardiac repair by Lillehi in 1954. Patch closure of
VSD and enlargement of RVOT.
Latter repair of pulm valve, resecting infundibular and sub-
infundibular muscle bundles, occ transannular patch. Disadv of transannular patch makes Pulm Valve incompetent. Alternately, insertion of a valved conduit from RV to distal MPA can be performed.
Timing surgery done electively in first yr of life, first 3
months if necessary. Also in pink variants nowadays.
TOF Treatments Blalock-Taussig Shunt Shunt from R Subclavian Artery R Pulmonary Artery Increase Pulmonary flow Result in Higher O2 Sat.
Goals of Corrective Surgery Removing obstructing muscle Closure of VSD Valvectomy of Pulmonic valve Transannular patch placed across the pulmonary valve
ring. Digoxin
Types of RVOT surgeies TAP Non TAP Double patch repair
TAP with Pulm Valve preservation
SURGICAL MANAGEMENT
POP Care Monitoring Art line ECG CVP
Pacing wires (Not at MCH) LA line (Not at MCH) PA line (Not at MCH)
POP Care Evaluate for residual VSD, RV dysfunction and RVOT
obstruction Evaluate for arrhythmia ( JET, Ventricular ectopy, heart block) Always keep good preload
RV dysfunction High CVP Low CO, high lactate Cyanosis
Echo
Junctional Ectopic Tachycardia Tachycardia No P waves AV disociation
Cannon waves Low CO, high lactates
JET
JET management Correct hypovolemia, anemia and electrlyte imbalance Hypothermia or at least correction of fever. Cooling
blankets, ice bags (sedation and paralysis required) Reduction in cathecolamines Atrial pacing Meds: Digoxin, Amiodarone
POP Medical Management Fast track extubation Sedation and pain management (Dexmedetomidine) Lusotropy and afterload reduction (Milrinone)
Calcium drip Keep good preload
LONG TERM OUTCOME Generally good in TOF patients Risk of complications such as sudden cardiac death and
heart failure. Myocardial fibrosis has adverse effect on long-term outcomes. In a study describing 36 yr outcomes of 490 survivors mortality increased 25 yrs after sx from 0.24 to 0.94/yr Euro Heart Survey in adults with TOF 1.3% mortality at 5yrs. Since 1985, major changes in mgmt of TOF such as repair in infancy and improved surgical outcome are expected to improve long-term outcomes.
Long Term Problems Free PI RV dysfunction RV Arrhythmias
Long Term Solutions RV to PA valved homograft or valved contegra Trans catheter Edwards or Melody valve
Trans catheter pulmonary valve The Melody valve is made
from a cows jugular vein valve that is sewn into a small metal stent
Edwards SAPIEN Transcatheter Heart ValveThe Edwards SAPIEN Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) is a heart valve that is made of cow tissue attached to a stainless steel mesh frame with a polyester wrap.
Pulmonary Atresia with VSD and 'MAPCAs' This defect is a form of Tetralogy of Fallot in which
there is complete obstruction of the Pulmonary Artery resulting in total diversion of blood from the right ventricle into the aorta. Survival depends on the presence of a number of naturally occurring connecting blood vessels between the Aorta and the Pulmonary Arteries in the lungs, which are called 'Collaterals' - or sometimes MAPCAs (Major Aorto-Pulmonary Collateral Arteries).
Surgical Options
Surgery Rv to PA homogrft or conduit Unifocalization VSD closure
Prognosis High Mortality with or without surgery Multiple cardiac catheterizations Staged Surgeries
Airway compromise Increase PVR risk of PHT
