Abstract Objective Many studies still dispute the identification of independent risk factors that influence outcome after neonatal cardiac surgery. We present our study to announce contemporary outcomes and profile surgery at institute. Methods designed a retrospective patients who underwent for congenital heart diseases between June 2011 April 2020. Demographic, operative, postoperative data were collected from medical records surgical databases. The primary was operative mortality (in-hospital death) secondary included hospital length stay, intensive care unit duration mechanical ventilation. Results In total, 1155 surgeries in children identified; these, 136 (11.8%) performed neonates. Arterial switch operations (48 cases) most frequent procedures. Postoperatively, 11 (8.1%) required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, 4 (2.9%) had complete block. Postoperative in-hospital 11%. median ventilation, stay 6, 18, 24 days, respectively. Conclusion early are encouraging. requirement oxygenation support, intracranial hemorrhage, acute kidney identified as following defects
