Cyanotic Tetralogy of Fallot With Its Infective Endocarditis Complication on the Tricuspid and Pulmonary

Valves of a 55-Year-Old Man

Abstract

A 55-year-old man had undiagnosed tetralogy of Fallot with the complications of decompensated heart failure and infective endocarditis, as well as pulmonic involvement secondary to the endocarditis. The patient had a massive hemoptysis and died. This case is a rare insight into the late outcome of this congenital heart disease.(Circ J 2004; 68: 178 - 180)
