[Surgical aspects of radical correction of tetralogy of Fallot].

The article deals with the analysis of variant anatomy of Fallot's tetralogy due to hypoplasia of the pulmonary trunk on basis of morphometric and intraoperative examination of 141 patients 4 to 43 years of age (15.3 +/- 3.26) who underwent radical correction of the anomaly; 48 (34%) of these patients were operated on after various palliative operations. On grounds of detailed study of the variants of the relations of anomalies of the cardiac anatomical structures in Fallot's tetralogy the authors elaborated operative proceedings by means of which mortality after radical correction fell to 6.5%.
