TI  - A case of unusual longevity of tetralogy of Fallot confirmed by cardiac 
      catheterization.

AB  - We describe a 61-year-old woman with tetralogy of Fallot and dextrocardia with 
      complete situs inversus. The functional status of this patient was New York Heart 
      Association (NYHA) class II and the systemic blood pressure was 100/54 mmHg. The 
      hematocrit was 54.4% and the arterial partial pressure of oxygen was 53 mmHg. On 
      cardiac catheterization, both pulmonary valvular and infundibular stenoses were 
      of equal severity and the aorta and main pulmonary artery were of equal size. We 
      think that this patient has survived to this unusual age for tetralogy of Fallot 
      because of unusually low systemic pressure and a proper balance between the 
      ventricular septal defect and the pulmonary stenosis.
