Adult survivors with tetralogy of Fallot constitute a growing population with congenital heart disease. We investigated an inception cohort who underwent surgical repair. We aimed to characterize late hazard or risk for death, and determine the time-related risk of late re-operation and pulmonary valve replacement (PVR).
