Balloon dilatation is one of the treatment options in symptomatic infants with tetralogy of Fallot and hypoplastic pulmonary annulus and pulmonary artery. A balloon dilatation was performed on a 28-day-old infant with tetralogy of Fallot with an appropriate balloon. The patient developed two pseudoaneurysms on the right ventricular outflow tract after the procedure which were diagnosed when the patient was admitted for total correction at 20 months of age. This case demonstrates an unusual but potentially life-threatening long-term complication of this procedure.
球囊扩张术是法洛四联症合并肺动脉瓣环及肺动脉发育不良的有症状婴儿的治疗选择之一。对一名28日龄的法洛四联症婴儿使用合适的球囊进行了球囊扩张术。术后该患者右心室流出道出现两个假性动脉瘤，在其20个月大因进行根治性手术入院时被诊断出来。该病例显示了此手术一种不常见但可能危及生命的远期并发症。
