I have TOF and I had my third surgery 3 yrs ago now and I remember waking up and having tubes in my lungs then I had to get up and walk to a chair then back to the bed, anyway I digress, I remember waking up and seeing my chest and new scar that was glue mixed with blood..

@MrBFlakes I hope you are recovering well, it sounds like you are a very determined and brave person. You are certainly an inspiration to other patients with this problem. You have my respect, and my prayers. Sincerely, Redmond Burke MD

my baby sis had TOF with absent PV

@DavidsMommyMaby I hope your baby sister with TOF/APV is doing well. TOF/APV is very different from TOF/AVC, but both of these congenital heart defects are best repaired at high volume congenital heart surgery centers. The center closest to your home might not be a high volume center of excellence, so you need to do some rigorous background checking. Or you can ask me. I hope your sister is doing well.

sincerely,
