[The fate of children who have undergone correction of Fallot's tetralogy. Report of fifty long term assessments (author's transl)].
50 children who had beneficied of repair of Fallot's tetralogy with a follow up of 2 to 11 years, were psychologicaly and physicaly evaluated. Work capacity tests were performed in 12 cases. Children with early repair (before 5 years of age) have a very better result. Preliminary palliative treatment cause worse results. Physical capacities are normal in the majority of children. Work capacity is not different from normal children. Repair before school age is the best way for a normal life.
