Abstract

The tetralogy of Fallot is the most frequent form of cyanotic congenital heart diseases presented in newborns. The disease’s four components are: abnormal alignment of intraventricular communication, right ventricle infundibular obstruction, aortic straddling of intraventricular communication, and right ventricle hypertrophy.  The case presented is a case of a frequent conventional surgery, the total abdominal hysterectomy due to a uterine myoma, in a patient, aged 43 years, suffering for tetralogy of Fallot, a little frequent situation in the daily practice. The objective is exposing the experience of the case, demanding a careful management, which was not found in the main literature sources. Anesthesia is usually used in children with this malformation to improve their life quality or it is definitively corrected; only 2 % of the patients suffering this disease that have not been surgically treated are still alive in the fourth decade of life.
