Abstract
We report the case of a mediastinocutaneous fistula, 13 years after th e total correction of tetralogy of Fallot. During a fistula curettage operation, we unexpectedly extracted a ventricular septal defect patch . An interventriscular shunt was not detected after the operation. The patient is well 3 years after the last operation.
