Since September 1946, surgical relief for tetralogy of Fallot or tricuspid atresia has been performed in 234 instances. During this period an anastomosis has been created in 24 infants under 1 year of age. Pulmonary atresia prevented an anastomosis in two additional infants. In those children in whom an anastomosis was possible, the mortality was 33.3% under 1 year of age as compared to an over-all mortality of 9.8%, with a mortality of only 2.9% between the ages of 3 and 16 years. The reasons for this higher mortality in infants are explained and surgical relief in selected cases is recommended.
