We evaluated the late results following repair of otherwise anatomically uncomplicated incomplete persistent @entity473 in 39 consecutive operative survivors who underwent operation at our institution prior to 1976. Average follow-up was 12 years. Postoperative cardiac catheterization was performed in 35 @entity1 (90%) at an average of 11 months after operation. Seven (20%) had residual @entity339 with elevated mean pulmonary arterial wedge of left atrial pressures with abnormal v waves. Regurgitation was mild to moderate (pulmonary artery wedge or left atrial pressure 12 to 15 mm Hg) in five and severe (pulmonary artery wedge pressure over 20 mm Hg) in two @entity1 . Clinically significant @entity943 including complete @entity616 , @entity944 , @entity1442 , and chronic @entity955 occurred in seven @entity1 (18%). Two @entity1 have required reoperation for @entity339 . Five have clinically recognizable mild-to-moderate @entity339 controlled with medical management; 25 @entity1 are asymptomatic at current evaluation. Estimated actuarial survival rate at 13 years is 88% +/- 6%, with an actuarial survival free of reoperation of 82% +/- 6%. However, actuarial survival free of any late complication including late @entity204 , reoperation, serious @entity943 , or @entity339 is only 52% +/- 10% at 13 years.
