Abstract

Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease. The surgical treatment that is palliative or complete repair has allowed to transform the preview of this heart disorder. We suggests to study the long term outcome in patients undergoing surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot, by emphasizing the quality of their lives, the complications, as well as the mortality. Ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death after repair of tetralogy of Fallot are devastating complications in adults survivors and their prediction remains difficult.
