Abstract
Background: Outcomes of operations for total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (TAPVD) have improved. However, operations in the neonatal period and the development of postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction are associated with a high mortality rate. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted for all neonates and infants (n = 214) who underwent operations for isolated TAPVD (1973 to 2014). Results: Median age was 18 days (1 day to 1 year). There were 17 (7.9%) early deaths. Risk factors for early death were prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time (p = 0.005) and neonatal age at the operation (p = 0.048). Early mortality was 2.5% for infants (n = 81) and 11% for neonates (n = 133; p = 0..
