Tetralogy of Fallot : People who have had surgery to repair tof may need an additional surgery in a future. For ex., the pulmonary valve can narrow again over time, reducing blood flow. The valve may need to be widened or replaced. They also may face a number of other heart problems: leaking heart valves, arrhythmias, pulmonary artery branch stenoses, right ventricular aneurysms, residudual vsd, coronary heart disease.

Multiple Issues: Patients with repaired tof have many potential issues including heart rhythm problems, recurrent pulmonary artery obstruction, and pulmonary valve issues. The specific problems depend on the types of surgery as well as the individual. Please discuss these issues with the cardiologist to understand the specific issues in this man's case.
