Abstract

Introduction: Tetralogy of Fallot (TF) is a prevalent congenital heart disease characterized by four main cardiac anomalies. Significant advances in the diagnosis and treatment of TF have been achieved in recent decades, including the crucial role of cardiac imaging techniques and the development of innovative therapeutic approaches. Objective: This study aims to review advances in the diagnosis and treatment of Tetralogy of Fallot. Methods: A bibliographic review was carried out using electronic databases, with inclusion criteria for original studies and reviews that addressed relevant aspects of TF. The selected articles were critically analyzed to extract information on recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of TF. Results and Discussion: Fetal echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging have played a crucial role in the early diagnosis and detailed characterization of FT. In addition, new therapeutic approaches, such as minimally invasive surgery, are improving clinical outcomes and patients' quality of life. The importance of a multidisciplinary approach and emerging technologies was also highlighted. Conclusion: Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of Tetralogy of Fallot represent a significant milestone in the approach to this condition. Multidisciplinary collaboration and ongoing research are key to optimizing patient care and improving clinical outcomes.
