title: Clinical issues and outcomes in adults following repair of tetralogy of fallot.
abstract: Advances in diagnosis, perioperative and surgical management of neonates born with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) have meant that affected individuals can now expect to survive to adulthood. However, this success is counterbalanced by the development of late morbidity in adulthood affecting survival and functional capacity. This review article addresses some of the major sequelae of TOF repair and discusses the contemporary approaches to reduce morbidity and mortality in this population.
