title: [Congenital cardiopathies in the newborn].
abstract: Ten years experience in newborn congenital cardiac malformations with severe hemodynamic changes is reported. The anatomic diagnosis was made at necropsy (85%) or by cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography (15%). One hundred and twenty-six cases were found in which aortic valve atresia or stenosis, tricuspid atresia, cardiac anomalies associated to visceral heterotaxy, tetralogy of Fallot, aortic coartation, endocardial cushion defect, ventricular septal defect, total anomalous pulmonary venous return and pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum were the most common malformations. They presented with either cardiac insufficiency or hypoxia and acidosis. The principal anatomic features of these cases were discussed and the associated malformations in other systems was noted.
