  • Title: Secondary arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy decades after operative repair of tetralogy of Fallot.
    Author: Donaldson EE, Ko JM, Gonzalez-Stawinski G, Hall SA, Roberts WC.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 2014 Sep 01; 114(5):806-9. PubMed ID: 25037673.
    Abstract:
    We describe a 47-year-old man who underwent heart transplantation (HT) for severe right-sided heart failure and periodic episodes of ventricular tachycardia (VT) 43 years after operative repair of tetralogy of Fallot (T of F). The right-ventricular outflow tract, the site where a patch had been placed 4 decades earlier, was aneurysmal. Such development decades after operative repair of T of F of both aneurysm and episodes of VT is probably more common than previously realized.
