Patient with Tetralogy of Fallot: Complications during Implant Placement?

I think in this case you have to consult first with the attending physician if he can undergo the implant treatment. That is suppose to be a standard operating procedure, isn't it? A thorough understanding of what the patient's condition is always the best thing to do before we can subject them to any surgery. Even if it is a minor implantation. Patients suffering from this condition needs prophylactic treatment of antibiotics. If all is well, proceed!

The patients affected by the congenital deformity of the tetralogy of Fallot are categorized as those patients with their cardiac defects repaired but not necessarily, cured.As a matter of fact, they are always at the risk of complications such as the rhythm and conduction disorders. Ventricular ectopy, a common finding in fourty to fifty percent of adult patients, is the pre-eminent arrhythmia after repair of tetralogy of Fallot,in which progressive increase in the frequency and complexity occurs with advancing age which is accompanied by more need for dental implant therapy per se.Ventricular ectopy is considered a risk factor for sudden death.Regarding the effect of surgical stress and trauma on a myocardium with a very low compensating power, it seems prudent to think twice before suggesting this treatment modality to this category of patients.
