ABSTRACT
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a life-threatening condition frequently associated with various congenital cardiac diseases. In congenital diaphragmatic hernia associated with tetralogy of Fallot, central pulmonary artery size of the affected side may not reflect the capacitance of peripheral pulmonary vascular beds. We report a case of congenital diaphragmatic hernia associated with tetralogy of Fallot, which was repaired after assessing the adequacy of the pulmonary vascular beds by intra-operative pulmonary blood flow study.
