A. ASD.

DISCUSSION: Although ASD is a frequent component of tetralogy of Fallot, it was not included by Fallot as part of his classic tetralogy. Occasionally, the inclusion of an ASD prompts use of the term pentalogy of Fallot. The other four anomalies listed were all mentioned by Fallot in his original description of this defect.
