Comparison of Postoperative, In-Hospital Outcomes After Complete Repair of Tetralogy of Fallot Between 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome and Trisomy 21.

We hypothesized that there are differences in postoperative length of stay (LOS) and occurrence of postoperative interventions after complete repair of TOF when comparing children with 22q11 to those with T21.
