Considerations in Timing of Surgical Repair in Tetralogy of Fallot.
CJC Pediatr Congenit Heart Dis
December 2023
Certain aspects of the treatment of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair remain controversial. The optimal timing of the elective repair of asymptomatic patients and the ideal strategy for managing symptomatic neonates and infants with TOF are still debated despite years of experience in TOF treatment. In this article, we discuss why a surgical correction at 3-6 months of age is likely the ideal time frame for the elective repair of TOF.

Article Synopsis
- Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a serious congenital heart defect characterized by significant underdevelopment of the left side of the heart, affecting structures like the left ventricle and associated valves.
- HLHS is defined by specific cardiovascular malformations, including the absence or underdevelopment of the aortic and mitral valves, and issues with the ascending aorta.
- There are different forms of HLHS, specifically HLHS with intact ventricular septum (HLHS + IVS) and HLHS with ventricular septal defect (HLHS + VSD), which both fall within the broader category of HLHS.
