The first two of these are also found in the tetralogy of Fallot. However, the tetralogy has a ventricular septal defect instead of an atrial one, and it also involves an overriding aorta.

Thoracotomy is used to surgically correct this pathology.^[1]

It is named in honor of its discoverer: Etienne Fallot.^[2]

Aortopulmonary septal defect	R→L: Double outlet right ventricle Taussig–Bing syndrome Transposition of the great vessels dextro levo Persistent truncus arteriosus Aortopulmonary window

Atrial septal defect	L→R: Sinus venosus atrial septal defect Lutembacher's syndrome

Ventricular septal defect	L→R and R→L: Eisenmenger's syndrome R→L, with other conditions: Tetralogy of Fallot

Atrioventricular septal defect	L→R: Ostium primum

Right	pulmonary valves stenosis insufficiency tricuspid valves stenosis atresia Ebstein's anomaly Hypoplastic right heart syndrome Uhl anomaly

Left	aortic valves stenosis insufficiency bicuspid mitral valves stenosis regurgitation Hypoplastic left heart syndrome
