title: Collaborative interventional and surgical strategies in the management of congenital heart lesions.
abstract: In the last 15 years the development of catheter-directed percutaneous therapies have improved the delivery of care to children with congenital heart lesions. Paralleling these advances, enhanced surgical techniques are now applied to complex cardiac lesions previously thought to be inoperable. This chapter outlines several treatment strategies which utilize surgical and catheter-based algorithms to address congenital heart disorders.
