Overview
Chest X Ray
- Normal or decreased pulmonary vascularity
- Concave pulmonary artery segment
- In Tetralogy of Fallot, the heart may present with a "boot-like" or "coeur en sabot" appearance (an upturned right ventricular apex and a concave main pulmonary arterial segment), rather than the symmetric appearance of a normal heart.
- A right sided aortic arch may also be present. There is pruning or reduction in the prominence of the pulmonary vasculature over time.
