Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cyanotic heart
defect. Total correction procedures are performed
in most centers and pulmonary insufficiency can
be problematic in long-term period.[1] Definite
diagnosis is essential for the development of
appropriate treatment. Cardiac magnetic resonance can provide comprehensive information about the
nature of congenital heart defect in a safe fashion.[2]
Herein, we present a 28-year-old female patient who
underwent re-do surgery due to pulmonary homograft
implantation for late pulmonary insufficiency with
main pulmonary artery aneurysm detected by
echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance
during pregnancy 28 years later from total correction
surgery of tetralogy of Fallot (Figures 1).
