Your questions are very valid and pertinent. The answer is not straightforward. It depends on her general health and her cardiac condition. Her ecg and echocardiocardiography should be evaluated by a cardiologist. Several patients do well after tof surgery and lead long healthy lives. But as you know each case is different and regularly showing a cardiologist is very prudent.
