[Surgical indications in congenital heart diseases in the newborn infant].
Half of the death rate due to symptomatic congenital heart disease in infant occurs during the first thirty days of life. Early surgical management of such a cardiac lesion is considered. Many heart defects seen at this age can be palliated or completely corrected. The evolution even under intensive medical care lasts only a few days or weeks. With early detection and investigation, with recent improvement in medical management and post-operative care, results of surgery are now acceptable. Surgical techniques and management for the most common malformations are described.
