Tetralogy of Fallot is a rare heart condition present at birth. It involves a combination of four defects. These defects affect the normal flow of blood to the lungs and body. Surgery is usually needed to correct the condition.

What Does the Surgery Involve?

The surgical technique used at Centro Médico Teknon focuses on two key areas. First, the ventricular septal defect is closed. This is a hole between the two lower chambers of the heart. Second, the obstruction to blood flow from the right ventricle is relieved. This allows blood to flow more easily to the lungs.

Before surgery, you will have several tests. These include a full blood panel, ECG, chest X-ray, and echocardiography. You will also meet with an anesthesiologist.
