Risk factors and outcomes for surgical repair of obstructed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection

ConclusionsDespite logistical challenges, reasonable surgical outcomes are attainable in obstructed TAPVC cases. Age less than 30 days and need for pre-operative ventilation were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality, while pulmonary venous obstruction in the post-operative period contributed to re-interventions.
