Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease in children but occurs rarely in adults. The extent of cyanosis depends on the balance of systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance, which depends on the severity of right ventricular outlet obstruction.3 The more severe the obstruction, the more blood flows into the left side causing desaturation and cyanosis. The survival rate of patients who receive surgical full correction is about 86% at 32 years follow-up and 85% at 36 years follow up.
