Case 73 Tetralogy of Fallot with an Additional VSD, Good Nakata Index, and Abnormal Course of the Coronary Artery

233
There is no main aortopulmonary collateral artery in the
suprasternal long-axis view, and the pulmonary artery annulus diameter is about 19 mm.
Diagnosis
The patient was diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot, in conjunction with an additional VSD, good Nakata index, and
abnormal course of the coronary arteries.
Comment
The patient was referred for angiography because of the
abnormal course of the coronary artery on echocardiography.
Because the Nakata index was greater than 200 mm/m 2 , it
seemed that this patient was a good candidate for surgery
(total correction).
Lesson
1. The Nakata index is a crucial index for decision-making
about the type of operation in the tetralogy of Fallot. If the
index is greater than 150 mm 2 /m 2 , the patient can be referred
for total correction. If the index is less than 100 mm 2 /m 2 , the
patient should be a candidate for a modifi ed Blalock–
Taussig shunt so as to confer time and chance to the pulmo-
nary vascular bed to develop. A Nakata index between 100
and 150 mm 2 /m 2 is a borderline case [ 102 , 103 ].
2. If a patient with the tetralogy of Fallot cannot be weaned
off the pump during surgery, there are two possible diag-
noses: (a) an undiagnosed additional VSD and (b) an
abnormal course of the coronary artery. If the pressures of
both ventricles are almost equal, the fl ow through the
VSD may not be visualized and an exact echocardio-
graphic examination via two-dimensional echocardiogra-
phy is mandatory.
3. If the pulmonary annulus is too small (≤2 standard deviation from the normal or Z score), a transannular patch
should be done and so the pulmonary valve will be
damaged.
4. The major dangerous point of an abnormal course of the
coronary artery occurs when it is associated with a
small pulmonary annulus, necessitating a transannular
patch. During a transannular patch, the risk of rupture
of the coronary artery is too high when its course is
abnormal.
5. If there is any suspicion of the abnormal course of the
coronary artery on echocardiography, coronary angiography is mandatory.
6. Branch pulmonary stenosis is a common fi nding, especially in the left pulmonary artery [ 103 ]. The probable
explanation is that when there is a narrowing of the pulmonary vascular bed during the fetal circulation, the fl ow
passes from the ductus arteriosus to the pulmonary trunk
and some cells immigrate toward the pulmonary artery
and branches and produce stenosis. Regarding the leftward orientation of the duct, the left pulmonary artery is
more prone to stenosis, as was the case in our patient.
This is the antithesis of the mechanism that is explained
for coarctation when there is a left-sided reduction in the
fl ow in the fetus and there is an augmented fl ow from the
ductus arteriosus toward the descending aorta. In such
circumstances, the possibility of the coarctation of the
aorta is increased.
7. The abnormalities of the coronary arteries occur in 5 % of
the cases of tetralogy of Fallot. Usually, the left anterior
descending artery originates from the right coronary
artery and courses anteriorly to cross the infundibulum, as
was the case in our patient [ 2 ].

A 23-year-old man presented with dyspnea on exertion
(functional class III), hemoptysis, and cyanosis. Physical
examination revealed severe cyanosis (O 2 saturation of
76 % in air room) as well as a systolic ejection murmur in
the pulmonic area at the left sternal border. He had undergone surgery at childhood for a shunt. The electrocardiogram showed right-axis deviation and right ventricular
hypertrophy.

Diagnosis
The patient was diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot with a
small pulmonary annulus and a low Nakata index (46 mm 2 /
m

). There was no main aortopulmonary collateral artery and
no evidence of shunt of previous operation.
Comment
A Blalock–Taussig shunt was recommended [ 102 , 103 ].
