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...
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 کاملPlasma Levels of High Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T in Adults with Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot
Detectable low circulating level of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) may reflect subclinical myocardial injury. We tested the hypothesis that circulating levels of hs-cTnT are altered in adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and associated with ventricular volume load and function. Eighty-eight TOF patients and 48 controls were studied. Plasma hs-cTnT levels were determined using a highly sen...
متن کاملRespiratory and esophageal morbidity in adults with repaired esophageal atresia
Background: Esophageal atresia (EA) often leads to persistent esophageal and respiratory symptoms, as well as impaired esophageal and lung function in adulthood. !e reasons for this, and the connections between symptoms and documented abnormalities, are not fully understood. Purpose: We wanted to investigate a cohort of adults previously operated on for EA in order to describe the prevalence of...
متن کاملResidual problems with repaired tetralogy of fallot.
Operable Problems Pulmonary regurgitation and RVOT stenosis are anatomical complications that can be relieved only by anatomical repair including surgery and percutaneous catheter treatment.4,5 Therefore, appropriate timing of such intervention is important. However, definite criteria for reoperation are not yet determined. There were several advocated criteria for re-intervention using magneti...
