Coexistence of asymptomatic balanced double aortic arch with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is extremely rare and represents a surgical dilemma in decision-making due to the lack of consensus on the management of this subset of patients. We report a case of asymptomatic balanced double aortic arch coexistent with TOF in a two-year-old girl.
Matched MeSH terms: Tetralogy of Fallot/diagnosis*
Valved bovine jugular vein (Contegra) conduit is considered a suitable choice for pediatric population with congenital heart defect requiring right ventricle to main pulmonary artery connection. Intermediate follow-up studies have shown the propensity of developing distal conduit stenosis and valve thrombosis. We present a rare case of aneurysmal dilatation of the conduit leading to valve failure requiring conduit explantation.
