CEIH, a rare post-TOF repair complication, demands recognition for effective management. Case presentation A 57-year-old male, post-TOF repair, presented with chest pain and hypotension. Diagnostic tests revealed CEIH with right ventricular strain. Clinical discussion CEIH, though rare, warrants consideration in post-TOF repair patients with chest pain. Timely recognition and intervention are vital to prevent serious complications.
