Treatment of Children

Surgery early in childhood is the best treatment for most people born with tetralogy of Fallot. Pediatric specialists from the Center for Congenital Heart Disease coordinate the care of these babies. These specialists have extensive experience treating children with tetralogy of Fallot. Children needing hospitalization are cared for at Mayo Eugenio Litta Children's Hospital in Rochester.

Specific management of tetralogy of Fallot will be determined by the baby's treatment team based on:

• The baby's overall health and medical history
