The objectives were to determine in patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) and abnormal coronary artery (ACA): the long-term outcomes of different surgical strategies; the risk factors for right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction, reoperation, heart failure and mortality. To date, the surgical strategies and prognostic factors for repair of ToF with an ACA, crossing the RVOT and avoiding a classic repair, have not been evaluated in a large series using a multivariate analysis.
