Tetralogy of Fallot is one of the most common congenital heart diseases producing cyanosis in neonates, young infants, and children. Since first clinical description of the anatomical components characteristic of this congenital anomaly by Louis Arthur Etienne Fallot in 1888, this anomaly has been recognized well by clinicians as the cause of cyanosis in children. Since recognition of morphology of this anomaly and clinical symptoms and signs produced by this congenital anomaly were well understood, several treatments had evolved for management of this lesion to prevent morbidity and death from chronic cyanosis.
