Abstract
Right ventricular failure after repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is associated with late mortality and morbidity. We report a case of tricuspid and mitral regurgitation with severe pulmonary regurgitation (PR) diagnosed 31 years after repair of TOF. The patient, a 48-year-old woman, presented with severe ventricular arrhythmia and exercise intolerance. She was treated successfully with triple valve replacement, following which her symptoms improved dramatically. She has remained well for 2 years postoperatively.Entities:
