Adults with repaired tetralogy: low mortality but high morbidity up to middle age
OBJECTIVE Survival of patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rToF) into young adulthood is very good. Concerns exist, however, over long-term morbidity and mortality as these subjects reach middle age. We aimed to assess survival and the prevalence of complications in patients with rToF seen in our Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) service. METHODS One hundred and sixty-eight consecu...

We report the case of a 65-year-old man who had an aortic valve replacement at the time of complete repair of the tetralogy of Fallot at the age of forty-three. He subsequently had progressive aortic root and ascending aorta dilation to 9 cm. The aortic root and asc...
متن کاملOutcome of adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot.
Outcome of adult patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) was studied with emphasis on postrepair problems. A retrospective review of clinical, echocardiographic, catheterization, and surgical data was performed for 48 patients who underwent corrective repair of TOF after 15 years of age. All patients survived total repair and have been followed up from 3 months to 11 years (median 4.6 ...
متن کاملVascular function in children with repaired tetralogy of Fallot.
We compared the endothelial function and vascular wall characteristics of 11 children with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) (age 13 +/- 3 years) with the characteristics of 17 age-matched peers (12 +/- 2 years). Echocardiographic Doppler measurements were performed under standardized conditions to assess (1) the carotid and femoral artery diameter and intima-media thickness, (2) brachial artery endoth...
