ABSTRACT
Balloon dilatation is one of the treatment options in symptomatic infants with tetralogy of Fallot and hypoplastic pulmonary annulus and pulmonary artery. A balloon dilatation was performed on a 28-day-old infant with tetralogy of Fallot with an appropriate balloon. The patient developed two pseudoaneurysms on the right ventricular outflow tract after the procedure which were diagnosed when the patient was admitted for total correction at 20 months of age. This case demonstrates an unusual but potentially life-threatening long-term complication of this procedure.
