Abstract
Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital heart disease which is mostly diagnosed and treated in infancy. In the literature there are some cases where the diagnosis was made in adults. This report describes the case of a seventy-five year old man who presents with a dilated and severely hypertrophic right ventricle, a ventricular septum defect, an overriding aorta and a severe infundibular stenosis in the right ventricular outflow tract. The diagnosis of an unrepaired Tetralogy of Fallot was made. A full surgical correction of the Tetralogy was performed and the patient received an implantable defibrillator, making him the oldest patient repaired for Tetralogy of Fallot.
