A total of 717 (56.24%) were males, while 558 (43.76%) were females. Acyanotic CHDs were the most common, accounting for 79.21% of all cases, while cyanotic CHDs accounted for only 20.79%. Ventricular septal defect (VSD), atrial septal defect (ASD), and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) were the most common acyanotic CHDs, accounting for 35.69%, 24.31%, and 8% of total cases, respectively. The most common cyanotic CHDs were Tetralogy of Fallot (7.14%) and Total Anomalies of Pulmonary Venous Connection (TAPVC) (1.57%). The most common Cath intervention was patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study\u2019s results are similar to those described in previous studies from around the world, except for the unreported Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) cases.
