Staged surgical treatment of early bacterial endocarditis after surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot and discrete subaortic stenosis: report of a case
A Smolinsky, Z Ziskind, G Ruvolo and DA Goor
An unconventional method of managing infection of the interventricular
Teflon patch in a patient with tetralogy of Fallot is reported. The patch
was initially replaced by a new patch. After reinfection, however, removal
of the patch and pulmonary banding eradicated the infection, and at a later
stage the defect was re-repaired successfully.
