Abstract
Despite morphologic and physiologic variations necessitating different palliative sequences, multistage palliation outcomes of various TA subtypes are comparable and generally good, with the exception of patients with associated genetic/extracardiac anomalies. The bulk of mortality is interstage, indicating continued opportunity for improvement in monitoring and managing patients during this critical period.
