title: Repair and follow-up of Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary stenosis.
abstract: Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cyanotic congenital heart defect. Advances in surgical technique and postoperative care have improved survival which is now very good. Patients now face long-term morbidities such as reduced exercise tolerance and arrthymias. Cardiologists caring for these patients are confronted with decisions regarding best care practices. This article will review the evidence available on repair and postoperative follow-up for patients with Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary stenosis.
