What is Fallota tetralogy?
Fallot tetralogy (Tof) is a group of four congenital heart defects that require treatment during the first few months of life because they cause cyanosis , a modest as a result of the body receiving blood on oxygen. Fallota tetralogy is the most common combined heart rate that results in cyanosis. One case is present every 2000-3000 birth. These are large chamber defects of septum and significant lung stenosis. In some cases, TOF represents a lung atresia that generally requires immediate surgical attention after the birth of the child, because no blood can pass through the pulmonary valves to obtain the necessary oxygen from the lungs.
Children born with this variant of Fallota tetralogy tend to enter heart failure soon after birth. Doctors may delay this failure by intravenous administration of prostaglandin E, treatment is delayed by a small opening in the atria, patent ductus, from closing. It only offers a day or two support before surgeryby the eye. Children with tof have a predominant aortu, which means that the chamber defect of the septum is under the aorta, allowing the pumping of blood rich in oxygen and oxygen back into the body. The right chamber is also strong and enlarged due to higher pressure in the chamber caused by mixing blood through the defect of the chamber.
Uncomplicated Fallota tetralogy is often repaired in one operation, usually before the child's first birthday. Most surgeons prefer early repair because children who remain untreated show poor growth and feeding problems. In addition, the pressure on the right chamber can continue to rise and create additional fats, also known as hypertrophy .
Children with unread Tof also show "Tet Spells" in which they can turn most of the blue for a few minutes for a few minutes. Tet spells can be caused by excessive crying or may occur without warning. Are naturally alarming for parents and others carele.
Repair of a single surgery Tetralogy of Fallot is a procedure on the open heart. Open heart surgery means that the child will be on the heart of the heart lung for some time while the repair takes place. In this repair, children are generally at Bypassa after an hour.
In a single surgery, the defect of the chamber septum is repaired and, if possible, the lung valve is open with balloon valvuloplastics. The surgeon may decide to open the valve, place the patch on it to create a wider hole and then sewn the valve. The valve repair is preferable to replace the valve.
repaired valves can sometimes be leaking over time and require additional surgery or replacement. In Fallot tetralogy with lung atresia, the valve must generally be replaced during surgery. Some surgeons prefer two operations that would deal with tof with pulmonary atresy: one to replace the lung valve and the other to repair the chamber septum defect.
children born with tetralogII Fallot requires a lifelong subsequent visits to a cardiologist who, in particular, looks at the lung valve. They may also require daily low dose aspirin and will certainly have to take prophylactic antibiotics before dental work. Cardiologists may have certain restrictions on participation in sports, but most children are recommended that they do as much as possible. The survival rate for open heart operations is between 90-95%. Therefore, those who were born with Fallot tetralogy can be expected to be well well and live healthy, normal lives.
