Popis: To determine the prevalence and degree of aortic dilatation (Adilatation), severity of aortic stiffness (Astiff), factors for Adilatation, and level of aortic root most sensitive to Astiff in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF). 269 patients with rTOF (mean age 14.9 ± standard deviation 5.0 years) were analyzed for Adilatation at annulus, sinus, sinotubular junction, and ascending aorta (aAo). Aortic size index was graded as Z score
