Abstract

Abstract The tetralogy of Fallot is the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart malformations. However, its association with Down syndrome is uncommon. We present two patients with uncorrected during childhood tetralogy of Fallot. One of them had also Down syndrome. We performed a complete surgical correction: closure of the inter-ventricular defect, right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction, pulmonary valve prosthesis and pulmonary artery patch repair (in one of the cases). The postoperative period was uncomplicated, patients were discharged on days 12 and 10, and the follow-up showed a significant functional class improvement.

期刊介绍： About 30 years ago - in 1973, on the initiative of the Publishing House „Medicine and Physical Culture", namely its former director Mr. Traian Ivanov, the Ministry of Health set up and accepted to subsidize a new medical magazine that was to be published only in the English language and had to reflect the status and the achievements of the Bulgarian medical science. Thus the language barrier was overcome and stable relations were established with the international medical society, large libraries, and university centers. The famous internationally known scientist professor Assen A. Hadjiolov was elected edition-in-chief by the first editorial staff and the magazine was named Acta Medica Bulgarica.
