- Abstract
Tetralogy of Fallot is one of the frequently encountered cyanotic heart diseases. We describe how we handled anesthesia for a pregnant woman with uncorrected Tetralogy of Fallot during a cesarean section. Less than 10% of patients with Congenital Heart Disease survive for more than 10 years. Among the survivors, very few of them reach adulthood in countries like Pakistan with no previous surgical interventions. The occurrence of such case is quite rare.
