We report a rare case of unrepaired Tetralogy_Pantalogy of Fallot (TOF_POF) in a 20 years old Persian girl Mrs Zeynab S., who presented with cyanotic finger tops appearance, ongoing chronic thrombolytic destruction processes, and remarkable thrombocytopenia [1,2], heart ventricular septal defect (VSD), and might atrial septal defect (ASD), anxiety, sleep disorders, nightmares, and limited social life. Additionally, the relationship between underlying mechanisms, possible treatments of the thrombocytopenia, erythrocytosis, and unrepaired cardiovascular leakages remains unknown.

Pseudo-aneurysm is a fatal disease, and the main cause of death is massive hemorrhage secondary to the rupture of the aneurysm. This case report aims to evaluate the effects of pseudo-aneurysm excision procedure on the disease. A 4-year-old girl was readmitted on the 20th day after ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure procedure with a high fever of 40°C; aortic pseudo-aneurysm was suspected based on a spherical cystic echo (82 × 76 mm) of the ascending aorta which was detected by ultrasonic cardiogram, and the diagnosis was confirmed by an aortic computed tomograph angiography (CTA) examination and intraoperative findings. Treatment included emergency pseudo-aneurysm excision procedure and antibiotic therapy. The aortic pseudo-aneurysm was surgically removed under deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest. Antibiotics were applied according to the bacterial culture results. The pseudo-aneurysm was excised successfully, and the patient achieved a good recovery. Our case suggests that the postoperative ascending aortic pseudo-aneurysm was probably due to inappropriate purse-string suture and/or local or systematic infection, so extra precautions should be taken to avoid this life-threatening complication.
