A one-size-fits-all approach to ToF needs to be replaced by a considered and personalized approach in order to yield the best outcomes possible for individual patients. The great majority of patients with ToF undergo primary complete repair between age 3–9 months with excellent outcomes. However, the greatest challenge is the severely cyanotic neonates where primary repair is still associated with high mortality and reintervention rates. Risk factors are low weight and small/poorly developed </span>pulmonary vasculature<span>. High-risk neonates have better outcomes with palliation—but mortality is still high.
