Abstract
Tetralogy of Fallot accounts for 10% of cyanotic congenital heart diseases. Clinically, symptoms depend on blood flow and, consequently, the degree of hypoxemia. The objective of this article is to gather evidence to support the need for early diagnosis and, consequently, intervention in children born with Tetralogy of Fallot congenital heart disease. The methodology used was an integrative literature review, considering articles published since 2017, with a QUALIS score of A1 to B3, in Portuguese and English. The results indicate that the techniques used to treat Tetralogy of Fallot have been thriving and offering increasingly satisfactory long-term results. However, residual problems require monitoring and may result in reinterventions, such as ventricular arrhythmia, pulmonary regurgitation, and right ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Surgery remains the gold standard, with low early mortality after valve replacement and good long-term results. Given the facts raised, we can conclude that the studies raised showed that late diagnosis is a predictor of worse outcomes and that the success of curative techniques is, evidently, influenced by the existence and quality of early diagnosis.
