Overview

Supports preserved long-term hemodynamics after tetralogy of Fallot repair; leaves open generalizability and durability beyond 14 years.

Structured PICO

What are the long-term haemodynamic outcomes at rest and during exercise in patients after total correction of tetralogy of Fallot?

P
Population
15 asymptomatic patients, average age 20 years (range 12 to 29), evaluated 7 to 14 years (mean, 11 years) after total intracardiac repair of Fallot's tetralogy.
I
Intervention
Postoperative haemodynamic evaluation (cardiac catheterization) at rest and during 5 minutes of submaximal exercise on a bicycle ergometer
O
Outcome
Cardiac output and right heart pressures at rest and after 5 minutes of submaximal exercisesurrogate

Long-term haemodynamic evaluation up to 14 years after total correction of tetralogy of Fallot demonstrates well-preserved cardiac function and normal exercise response in the majority of patients.
