There are now available several papers dealing with this unusual combination.1-8 Examples of left-to-right shunt in the presence of pulmonary stenosis have also been reported in which other anomalies also occurred, such as anomalous pulmonary venous drainage,9, 10 atrial septal defect,1 aortic-pulmonic communication,11, 12 and ruptured sinus of Valsalva.11, 13 We have had an opportunity to study three adult cases of "acyanotic Fallot's tetralogy."5METHODSAfter premedication with barbiturates, local procaine anesthesia and procaine amide, cardiac catheterization...Bibliography1.
