Symptomatic Neonates With Tetralogy of Fallot: Shunt or Primary Repair?
In symptomatic neonates with tetralogy of Fallot operated at two institutions with distinct treatment protocols, no statistically significant difference in medium-term survival and re-intervention was observed between the two strategies. SR was associated with lower neonatal morbidity but more unplanned re-interventions before discharge. PR in neonates weighing <3 kg may result in more early re-interventions.
