Total mortality was 72\/129 (56%), with 15 deaths in the first week and 49 in the first year. There were 23 surgical deaths, 33 hospital deaths (not related to surgery), and 16 sudden deaths, 12 of which remained unexplained. The sudden death rate was 29\/1000 patient years of follow up. Of the 57 survivors, 39% have exercise ability I or II and 61% III or IV. Definitive surgical repair produced better exercise ability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Early mortality is high in all types of pulmonary atresia, although survival has improved in recent years.
