Treatment for TOF is primarily surgical. The timing and type of surgery may vary depending on the severity of the condition and the neonate's overall health. Common surgical interventions include:
- Complete repair: Typically performed in the first year of life, this surgery involves closing the VSD and relieving the pulmonary stenosis. - Palliative surgery: In some cases, a temporary procedure such as a Blalock-Taussig shunt may be performed to increase blood flow to the lungs until complete repair can be done.
