3-day-old baby with heart disease Fallot is dangerous and how is it treated?

Ask
Hello doctor! My baby is just 3 days old. At birth, the baby was normal, but in the morning, it was discovered that the baby's scrotum was a bit large but enough for 2 stones, until the general examination, it was found that the baby had Fallot's heart disease. So please ask the doctor, is a 3-day-old baby with Fallot's heart disease dangerous and how is it treated? Looking forward to your advice, thank you doctor!

Answer
Hello friends, the doctor would like to answer the question: “Is a 3-day-old baby with Fallot's heart disease dangerous and how is it treated? ” as follows:
Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital heart disease with many defects in the heart such as ventricular septal defect, right ventricular thickening, right ventricular outflow tract narrowing. If not treated promptly, the child will develop heart failure
Treatment of tetralogy of Fallot requires surgical repair. Depending on the anatomical damage, temporary surgery or radical surgery is required. You should take your baby to cardiac centers that have congenital heart surgery for further evaluation.
You can go to the nearest medical facility or Vinmec Health System Hospital for more detailed examination and advice by doctors. Best regards!
