INTRODUCTIONPart 1
The problem
• Survival to adulthood of infants with tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) now exceeds 90% in modern cohorts1,2
• Form a significant proportion of the workload of adult CHD services
• The ability of post-ToF repair interventions to modify the long term prognosis for these patients has not been fully defined
1Ide et al 2009, 2Park et al 2010
Objective
• To define the long term outcomes of adult survivors of ToF with respect to
– Survival, functional capacity and adverse events
– The effect of pulmonary valve replacement on clinical and functional outcome
METHODOLOGYPart 2
Data collection
• National centralized model for ACHD care in Scotland
• Computerised database
• Electronic records were where possible corroborated with op notes and medical certificate of cause of death
Methods
• Overall survival analysis; KM curve compared to age and gender matched controls
• Morbidity outcomes– Ventricular arrhythmia– Atrial arrhythmia– Device (pacemaker or ICD)– Reintervention and PVR
• Current functional status (clinical / CPET / CMR data)
RESULTSPart 3
Baseline characteristics
• 376 patients (male:female 59:41) post ToF repair who survived to at least age 16
• Mean age at repair 5.2 years (SD 7.3); median 3 years
• Mean follow-up from repair 28.3 years (SD 9.4)

Deaths
• 15 patients died at a mean age of 49 +/- SD 13.7 years
• Cause of death– Heart failure (5)– Postoperative – PVR (3)*– Sepsis (3)– Sudden (2)– Stroke (1)– Malignancy (1)

Quality of life
• NYHA class– I: 87.5%, – II: 5.3%– III: 0.5%
• Median peak VO2 69.5% predicted
• Social deprivation score = 4.1 – Scottish population mean 4; p=0.51
• Total Fertility Rate 0.18 (1.61 for national data 2013)

Prevalence of arrhythmia
• Atrial arrhythmia in 13.3%, ventricular arrhythmia in 3.4%
• Therapy– 12.8% on regular antiarrhythmics– 5.1% ICD– 2.1% had radiofrequency ablation
Freedom from arrhythmia
Multivariate analysis for arrhythmia
• Atrial arrhythmia – Older age at repair conferred hazard ratio of 1.10 (95% CI 1.07 –
1.13) p = <0.001
• No significant variables identified for ventricular arrhythmia
Device insertion (pacemaker or ICD)
• 9% of patients overall
• Device type– Pacemaker in 4% (VVI 0.8% and DDD in 3.2%)– ICD in 4.8%– CRT-D in 0.3%
Freedom from device insertion
SUMMARYPart 4
Mortality
• Long term (>30 years) survival remains excellent – For patients who survive to age >16
• Heart failure is the main cause of death
• Older age at repair, non-classical forms of ToF, and male gender confer increased risk
Morbidity
• Arrhythmia is common
• High rates of repeat intervention, mainly PVR, performed with low mortality
• PVR reduces RV volumes but does not improve exercise capacity
Limitations and future directions
• Single center retrospective cohort
• Functional data is cross-sectional for a heterogenous group
• Historical loss of follow-up – patients geographically remote from surgical center may still be under the radar
• Creation of an international registry will enable far more powerful and robust analysis of prognosis and intervention
