Repair of tetralogy of Fallot in neonates: a single-center case series.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The optimal timing for surgical intervention in the management of tetralogy remains a subject of ongoing debate. This investigation involved a retrospective analysis of neonatal patients who had received continuous treatment for tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) at our centre. The objective of this study was to examine the feasibility and necessity of treating TOF in the neonatal period.

Methods

A retrospective analytical investigation was undertaken of 33 cases of neonates who underwent consecutive one-stage surgical repair for TOF at the Beijing Anzhen Hospital from June 2022 to December 2023. The subjects had an average gestational age of 38.1 weeks (range, 31.3-40.0 weeks) and a median age at surgery of 14.0 days [interquartile range (IQR): 9.75-20.0 days]. Their mean
