ABSTRACT: Aim: Evaluate the epidemiological profile of cyanotic congenital heart
disease in Mali before the advent of extracorporeal circulation in the “B” Surgery Department at the Pont G University
Hospital. Patients and Methods: This was a retrospective and descriptive
study that took place from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2017. The records of
patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease in the “B” surgery department of Point G University Hospital were collected. Patients
operated on for cyanotic congenital heart disease were included in this study.
Non-operated patients were not included. Results: The records of 17
patients operated on for cyanotic congenital heart disease were retained. The
average age of patients at the time of surgery was 5.18 years with extremes of
2 and 18 years. Boys were in the majority with 59%, i.e. a sex ratio of 1.42. Patients resided in Bamako in 82% of
cases. Inbreeding was found in 35.3%. Eighty-eight percent of children were
born at term and 94% had up-to-date vaccination status. The average duration of
patient follow-up between diagnosis and surgical management was 5 years with
extremes of 2 years and 12 years. Tetralogy of Fallot regular form was the most
represented heart disease. Conclusion: Cyanogenic congenital heart
disease remains the most frequent congenital pathologies in our country. They
most often affect male children. Consanguinity is the most common etiological
factor found. Tetralogy of Fallot regular form remains the most common.
