The result is that the [[aorta]] receives some blood from the [[right ventricle]], which reduces the amount of [[oxygen]] in the [[blood]]. It is one of the four conditions of the [[Tetralogy of Fallot]]. The other conditions are pulmonary stenosis, RVH, and VSD (ventricular septal defect). {{circulatory-stub}} {{Congenital malformations and deformations of circulatory system}} [[de:Reitende Aorta]] [[Category:Congenital heart disease]]
