Historical Perspective
Discovery

Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- Blalock and Taussid performed the first anastomosis of subclavian to pulmonary artery on November 9, 1944 to lessen the cyanosis in tetralogy of Fallot.[2]
Famous Cases
- United States' Olympian and gold medalist Shaun White was born with tetralogy of Fallot and had cyanosis because of that.
