title: Advances in the surgical management of congenital heart disease in infants and children.
abstract: This chapter is not meant to be an exhaustive review; it is meant only to highlight the clinical developments over the past decade in selected areas. Much remains to be learned about the management of many congenital cardiac defects, and only through further experience, curiosity, and imagination, coupled with careful and complete analysis of our activities, will we further refine and improve surgical management programs that are so critical to the patients we treat.
