Abstract

|
|
Case 1 : A twenty - two years old cyanotic korean male was operated on for tetralogy of Fallot with caridio- pulmonary bypass. Irreversible ventricular fibrillation occurred, Autopsy findings confirmed the diagnosis of tetralogy of Fallot with situs inversus totalis.
Case 2 : A two tyears old Korean boy was admitted with chief complaints of cyanosis and dyspnea. By X-ray examinations, EKG, and cardiac catheterization, situs inversus totalis with tetralogy of Fallot was diagnosed.
End- to - side anastomosis was done between superior veua cava and pulmoary artey(Glenn´s poperation) in the left hemithorax. Patient´s cyanosis and dyspnea were relieved post-operatively. Both cases showed no Kartahener´s syndromes. Association of tetralogy of Fallot with situs inversus totalis has to be published yet according to keith (1958). It is of interest to experience two cases of this anomaly in this institution during a relatively short period of time.
