Total correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is typically performed within the first year of life. However, subsequently, right-ventricular dysfunction often progresses by pulmonary stenosis or regurgitation. Although most patients with corrected TOF require additional surgery for right-ventricular outflow tract, intervention could be an alternative to palliative surgery and associated morbidities, especially in children. We describe a palliative application of the self-expandable stent in a patient with pulmonary stenosis after total correction of TOF who lacked a conduit between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery.
