Abstract
Between 1955–1970, there were 681 surgical survivors of complete repair of tetralogy of Fallot at the Mayo Clinic. Age at correction varied from infancy to adulthood, but 84% of patients were 5 years of age or greater at time of repair. Late follow-up information was obtained in 1977. For patients who underwent surgery between 1955–1964, the period since surgery ranged from 12–22 years, with a mean of 16.5 years. For the other subgroup of patients who underwent surgery between 1965–1970, the range of follow-up was 6–12 years, with a mean of 9 years. Follow-up information was obtained from all but 7 of the 681 total surgical survivors.
