A, Significant difference in long-term survival rate between cases with and without major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) in the 792 patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) who survived the first year after operation (P=0.024). A, Significant difference in long-term survival rate between cases with and without major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) in the 792 patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) who survived the first year after operation (P=0.024). The black line indicates patients with MAPCAs; and the dashed line, those without MAPCAs. B, Significant differences in long-term survival, according to age at operation, in the 792 patients with repaired TOF who survived the first year after operation (P=0.003). The gray line indicates those who underwent repair at an age <3 years; the dashed line, those who underwent repair at an age between 3 and 10 years; and the black line, those who underwent repair at an age >10 years.
