AB  - In this case report we present a 62-year-old patient with unrepaired tetralogy of 
      Fallot who underwent a Potts shunt for palliation. Survival into late adulthood 
      of patients with unoperated tetralogy of Fallot is rare. This patient is 
      currently in New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II. A Potts shunt is 
      associated with severe complications due to pulmonary vascular disease. To our 
      knowledge, this is the first case report on a patient who survived into late 
      adulthood with minor symptoms due to balanced hemodynamics after a Potts shunt.
