Evaluation et prise en charge des complications tardives : insuffisance pulmonaire, cardiaque, trouble du rythme.
Advancements in surgical techniques and medical management have significantly improved the survival of patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), resulting in a growing population of aging adults living with this congenital heart defect. However, the long-term sequelae of TOF, compounded by the effects of aging, present unique challenges for clinicians.
This talk will review the spectrum of late complications in TOF, including pulmonary regurgitation, heart failure, arrhythmias, and aortic complications, as well as the rising incidence of acquired cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and diabetes in this population. We will highlight advances in imaging technologies, valve replacement procedures, and evolving strategies for managing comorbidities and refractory complications.
Future directions in TOF care will also be discussed, focusing on emerging data supporting novel heart failure therapies, the development of consensus guidelines for arrhythmia and aortic complication management, and innovative approaches to identify and address subclinical disease. This session will provide valuable insights into the complex needs of the aging TOF population and evolving strategies to optimize their long-term outcomes. »
