Foreknowledge of the existing cardiac condition, of the position of the great vessels, and of any hidden congenital vascular anomaly would favor greatly a successful postoperative result.Recent surgical advances in the treatment of the Tetralogy of Fallot reflect the importance both of the differential diagnosis and of the careful selection of suitable operative candidates. It is the purpose of this report to present four cases of cyanosis encountered at the Massachusetts General Hospital in which the final...Bibliography1.
