Sažetak
Introduction: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a congenital disorder in which four clinically important manifestations occur, namely: significant ventricular septal defect, right heart outlet obstruction, right ventricular hypertrophy, and overriding aorta. This paper aims to discuss current methods of prenatal diagnosis and therapy. Review: Data was extracted from PubMed. The diagnosis of ToF is mainly made by ultrasound. After childbirth, an evaluation determines whether emergency intervention or palliative care is needed. Surgery is needed only for newborns who are at high risk of complications. The main goal of palliative care is to maintain sufficient oxygen saturation, it provides a greater chance of survival and a successful outcome for later surgery. One of the modern and frequently used methods today (in addition to open surgery as a permanent solution) is cardiac catheterization, which can correct some of the disorders. It can possibly be a less invasive solution for complete ToF repair (one of the options is shifting the septum to reduce pressure on the right side and minimalise septal defects). It is believed that the future of diagnostics lies in 3D technology. Conclusion: ToF is a well-known disorder that doctors around the world face daily, current diagnostics lays a very good foundation for successful treatment, and the future promises an even more individualized approach. As far as therapy is concerned, there is currently no minimally invasive method of repair, but hopes are pinned on improving current methods and palliative care as a measure that enhances the positive outcomes of available interventions.
