What is the defect needed in pink tetralogy of fallot?
A "Pink Tet" is simply an Acyanotic Tetralogy of Fallot. The same 4 cardiac anomalies are present as in Cyanotic ToF: 1) Pulmonary Stenosis, 2) VSD, 3) Overriding Aorta and 4) Right Ventricular Hypertrophy... but the pulmonary stenosis less severe. Milder pulmonary stenosis means that more blood is getting to the lungs to pick up oxygen. Also, because less stenosis equals less back pressure through the Right to Left shunt and less shunting of oxygen-poor blood into the peripheral circulation.
