title: [Surgery of congenital cardiopathies].
abstract: Based on their experience, the authors are demonstrating that early surgery of cardiac abnormalities is justified. This has become possible, during the last few years, because of a better understanding of cardiac anatomy, metabolism and function in the small child. Results are showing that 75% of operated children are leading a normal life. Further improvements have to be pursued with as final objective the prevention of cardiac abnormalities.
