Dr. Nandita Mohan explores an original article on risk factors contributing to early mortality in total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) repairs, published in the Journal of Cardiac Critical Care. The article presents a 10-year retrospective study of 88 TAPVC surgeries conducted by a single surgeon, highlighting key predictors of mortality including young age, low surgical weight, pre-operative obstruction, and postoperative PAH. With an early mortality rate of 12.5%, the study underscores the importance of timely surgical intervention and vigilant post-operative care in managing TAPVC. The Journal of Cardiac Critical Care is published by Scientific Scholar.
