Summary Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) has four anatomic features: right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), ventriculoseptal defect (VSD), overriding aorta and right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOT) with an occurrence of 3.9 /10,000 births. The pathophysiologic effects in TOF are largely determined by the degree of RVOT and not the VSD. Intra‐operative anesthetic management is also dependent on the degree of RVOT obstruction and influenced by the extent of surgical RVOT repair.
