Prognostic analysis of children with tetralogy of Fallot through a small incision in the right axilla
In infants and children under 3 years old with TOF, surgical correction via a right axillary small incision achieves equivalent clinical outcomes to traditional median sternotomy, without increasing postoperative mortality or complication rates. In addition, the minimally invasive approach offers benefits of reduced surgical trauma and enhanced postoperative recovery.
