Background: Tetralogy of fallot has diverse anatomical variations and associations which has important implications in the surgical management and outcome. This study was done to analyse the various anatomical variations in patients with Tetraloy of fallot seen during diagnostic cardiac catheterization. Methods: This was a single centre observational study in which 131 consecutive patients with Tetralogy of fallot underwent diagnostic cardiac catheterization before total correction. The z score of pulmonary artery annulus and branch pulmonary arteries, Mc goon ratio and Nakata index was calculated. The study group was divided in to 2 groups based on age (group A < 10 years and group B = 10 years) to analyse any difference in anatomy. Results: The mean age of the study group was 6.3 ± 4.7 years with 69.4% being male. The most common associated anomaly was major aortopulmonary collaterals (MAPCAS) seen in 55 (41.9%) patients with right aortic arch (22.9%) being the next most common associated anomaly. The mean Mc goon ratio and Nakata index were 1.66 ± 0.45 and 263.36 ± 136.10 mm2 respectively. The incidence of MAPCAS was more in group B (75.7%). Conclusion: The anatomical variations seen in Tetralogy of fallot patients do not vary with respect to age except for the presence of MAPCAS which was seen more in older children. The most common associated anomaly seen was MAPCAS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
