Abstract
Primary radical correction of tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is an optimal surgical option; however, in some conditions, in particular with concomitant extracardiac pathology and hypoplasia of the pulmonary artery (PA) branches, this intervention is not possible. Obstruction and/or hypoplasia of the PA is one of the risk factors for primary radical correction of this congenital heart defect (CHD). In world practice, there are several methods of palliative approach for PA growth with the possibility of further radical correction. However, in some cases, palliative approaches do not give the desired result. In this regard, we present a clinical case of a successful hybrid bifurcation Y-stenting of the PA and radical correction of ToF. Keywords: Tetralogy of Fallot, radical correction, branches of the pulmonary artery, hypoplasia, stenting of the branches of the pulmonary artery, bifurcation Y-stenting, clinical case.
