A properly patched tire will last as long as any other tire that hasn't had repairs.

The patch safely seals the hole so that the tire will remain functional for the life of the tire which is around 60,000 to 70,000 miles.

So as long as you don't get anymore punctures in the tire and you had the tire patched correctly you shouldn't need to worry about until you replace the tires again.
