What are the Long-term Outcomes for Neonates with TOF?
With advances in surgical techniques and postoperative care, the long-term outlook for neonates with TOF has significantly improved. Most children who undergo successful repair can lead relatively normal lives, although they require lifelong follow-up with a cardiologist. Potential long-term complications can include:
- Residual or recurrent defects - Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) - Right ventricular dysfunction
