- The tetralogy of Fallot is the commonest cyanotic congenital heart disease and is not a single entity but is classified according to variations in clinical and hemodynamic findings based primarily on the degree of pulmonary stenosis and the size of the ventricular septal defect.

A successfully performed tetralogy of Fallot discussed mainly fromthe pathophysiological view.
