Adults with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) comprise one of the largest cohorts among adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD). These patients have a higher burden of atrial arrhythmias (AA), leading to increased adverse events, including stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA). However, the data on factors associated with stroke/TIA in rTOF are limited, and classic risk factors may not apply. We studied event rates and associated factors for thromboembolism in a rTOF cohort.
