Abstract
Tetralogy of Fallot {S,D,I} is a recently discovered form of tetralogy with solitus atria (S) and D-loop ventricles (D), but with inverted n ormally related great arteries (I). Because of infundibuloarterial inv ersion, the right coronary artery must traverse the stenotic pulmonary outflow tract, increasing the risk of surgical trauma to the right co ronary artery. Here we report a case of successful surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot {S,D,I} without the use of an extracardiac conduit .
