An extremely rare tetralogy of Fallot with absent pulmonary valve and unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery: a rare report of De Bucket Syndrome
Although TOF is a common cyanotic congenital heart disease, certain variants of TOF, such as TOF with APV and absent LPA, may present without the typical cyanotic or respiratory symptoms. Therefore, even the slightest additional heart murmur should be thoroughly investigated. While clinical examination, arterial oxygenation, and echocardiography are essential, definitive diagnosis and precise anatomical characterization ultimately require CT angiography.
