Abstract
Background: Critical congenital heart diseases requiring emergency percutaneous interventions are associated with frequent complications and high mortality rates. Successful outcomes of the procedures require a well-established paediatric cardiac centre performing a large number of procedures. Our cardiac centre is situated in a rural region, and it is a small-volume centre for a paediatric cardiac unit. Case characteristics: Between April 2019 and July 2022, a total of nine neonatal emergency cardiac procedures were performed. This case series reviews the outcome of the study. Observation: Five newborns had no complications. Two neonates had minor complications. Major complications occurred in two neonates. Seven neonates were discharged. Two neonates died.
