Abstract

The advancements in surgical and medical management has helped increase the number of adults with corrected tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and is still growing. Initial management of TOF patients is done in early infancy by repairing the ventricular septal defect (VSD) and the relief of obstruction of right ventricular outow tract (RVOT). Cardiac computerized tomography (CT) is the widely available and the preferred modality for diagnosing TOF patients as it is also useful when the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is contraindicated like in patients with cardiac implants. CT nicely depicts the cardiac anatomy and any associations or anatomical variations. The amount of information provided by multidetector computerized tomography (MDCT), helps the surgeons plan an intervention required for the management of TOF patients.
