Abstract 9472: Multicenter Comparison of Staged vs. Complete Repair in Young Infants With Tetralogy of Fallot with Pulmonary Atresia and Confluent Branch Pulmonary Arteries
Abstract:Introduction:
Optimal management of neonates with tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonary atresia (TOF/PA) with confluent pulmonary arteries is unknown. We sought to compare outcomes for patients who underwent primary complete repair vs. initial surgical palliation followed by delayed repair.
