Abstract
Tetralogy of Fallot associated with ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic valve regurgitation is unusual. This combination necessitates a change in operative strategy during complete tetralogy repair. We present a 43-year-old woman who successfully underwent composite graft replacement of the ascending aorta and aortic valve during primary complete tetralogy repair. Histologic examination of the aorta revealed medial degeneration.
