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
• The baby's tolerance for specific medications, procedures or therapies
