title: [Surgical treatment of congenital cardiopathies in the 1st year of life: experience in 893 treated cases].
abstract: We present a study of 893 infants treated surgically, of ages from 30 hours to 12 months old, with a global mortality rate of 23.1%. In 37.6% of the cases, a total correction of cardiopathy was reached, using closed techniques in 25.9% and open-heart surgery in 11.7%. Palliative techniques wer chosen in 62.3% of the patients. The highest mortality corresponds to those patients under one month old (40%), decreasing to 14% in the 7-12 month old group. Surgical indications and techniques used are commented in each group of cardiopathies, making special reference to post surgical care.
