Zusammenfassung:Tetralogy of Fallot (TF) is a congenital heart defect that causes cyanosis, known classically as a combination of four defects. Its pathophysiology is closely related to two defects that interfere significantly in the hemodynamics of the animal: a pulmonary valve stenosis and ventricular septal defect, and its consequences depend sensitively on the magnitude of these defects. Currently, there are several diagnostic tests capable of accurately elucidate this congenital heart disease. There are several treatment modalities, ranging from medical therapy to surgical correction. However, currently the most widely used surgical method is the palliative Blalock-Taussig shunt. A Tetralogia de Fallot (TF) é uma cardiopatia congênita causadora de cianose, reconhecida, classicamente, como a combinação de quatro defeitos. Sua fisiopatologia está intimamente relacionada com dois defeitos que interferem significantemente na hemodinâmica do animal: a estenose da valva pulmonar e o defeito septal interventricular, sendo que suas conseqüências dependem sensivelmente da magnitude destes defeitos. Atualmente, existem vários métodos de diagnóstico, capazes de elucidar com precisão essa cardiopatia congênita. Existem varias modalidades de tratamento, que vão desde terapia medicamentosa a procedimento cirúrgico corretivo, sendo que, atualmente a técnica mais empregada é o método cirúrgico paliativo de Blalock-Taussig.
