An increasing number of people who have undergone surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot are living long lives. Several late sequelae of corrected tetralogy of Fallot have been found, including residual ventricular septal defect, restenosis of the pulmonary outflow tract, ventricular tachycardia, and right ventricular failure from pulmonary insufficiency. A long-term survivor of corrected tetralogy of Fallot is reported with acquired coronary artery disease unrelated to the congenital anomaly or its correction as an additional cause of late morbidity in this select but growing population of patients.
