tetralogy of fallot/fever

We report a 20 year old patient with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot who presented with acute right side heart failure. The echocardiogram showed severe mitral regurgitation which was not present one year before. Because of mitral insufficiency, pulmonary pressure increased and it was nearby 70%

A 5-year-old girl susceptible to malignant hyperthermia underwent total repair of tetralogy of Fallot. The initial operation was canceled because of abrupt hyperthermia and metabolic acidosis of unknown cause. Dantrolene was given orally as preoperative treatment and administered intermittently

An episode of malignant hyperthermia occurring in a 42-year-old man undergoing hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass is reported. Malignant hyperthermia is a syndrome initiated by a hypermetabolic state of skeletal muscle. A patient presented for correction of an acyanotic tetralogy of Fallot. The

One of the causes of the late deaths after operations of the tetralogy of Fallot are dysrhythmias caused by impaired conduction and automatism. To assess the severity and site of the atrioventricular and intraventricular block the authors used in 19 patients after operation of the tetralogy of

A 10-year-old girl with uncorrected tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia presented with fevers of unknown origin and left lung infiltrates. At autopsy, necrotizing vascular changes resembling those of severe pulmonary hypertension (grade VI in the Health-Edwards classification) were confined

25 year old male who was a known case of repaired Tetralogy of Fallot with history of early prosthetic pulmonary valve fungal endocarditis in 2012 presented in 2016 with history of prolonged fever. On subsequent work up, he was diagnosed to have recurrent fungal prosthetic pulmonary valve

Aggregatibacter aphrophilus and Beta haemolytic Streptococci Lancefield group F are part of the normal oral flora and are known to cause endocarditis, sinusitis, empyema, meningitis and septic arthritis. They are now emerging as a cause of brain abscess particularly in patients with congenital heart

Prosthetic pulmonary valve endocarditis has infrequently been described outside large cohort reviews, which have typically focused on infections of the left-sided heart valves. Hence, the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and management principles of prosthetic pulmonary valve endocarditis have

A 34-year-old man came to this Emergency Room because of fever, swelling and pain in the right thigh. Tetralogy of Fallot with bicuspid pulmonary valve was diagnosed after serial examination, and computed tomography of the right thigh revealed pyogenic myositis. Surgical drainage of the right thigh

A 5 month old colt foal with recurrent pyrexia and a loud pansystolic murmur later developed signs of cardiac failure. Peritoneal fluid and blood samples both demonstrated an extreme leucocytosis and neutrophilia. At post-mortem both a cranial mesenteric arteritis and the congenital cardiac anomaly,

A 4-month-old Holstein bull was examined because of a loud heart murmur and recurring fever. The calf was polycythemic and became cyanotic following and mild exercise. A tetralogy of Fallot was diagnosed echocardiographically. Echo-free spaces were delineated in the left ventricle and

The authors report the case of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) associated with situs inversus, the first description of this rare association in a previously asymptomatic adult. A 32 years old chauffeur was admitted to hospital with pyrexia and convulsions due to a left temporo-parietal cerebral abscess
