Overview
Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common form of cyanotic heart disease, and must be distinguished from other forms of cyanotic heart disease.

Differential Diagnosis of Cyanotic Heart Disease

 * Transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA)
 * Truncus arteriosus (Persistent)
 * Tricuspid atresia
 * Interrupted aortic arch
 * Coarctation of aorta
 * Tricuspid atresia
 * Pulmonary atresia (PA)
 * Pulmonary stenosis (advanced)
 * Pentalogy of Fallot
