title: [Surgical treatment of newborns with congenital heart diseases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To summarize the experience of surgical treatment of newborns with congenital heart diseases.
  
  
  METHODS
  The experience of surgical treatment of 8 newborns with critical congenital heart diseases, including 3 cases of D-transposition of great arteries with intact ventricular septum, 2 cases of ventricular septal defect with artrial defect (ASD), one case of complete atrioventricular canal defect, 1 case of obstructed supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage with ASD, and 1 case of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).
  
  
  RESULTS
  The case of PDA underwent ligation under normothermic anesthesia and the other 7 cases were operated upon under moderate or deep hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. All the 8 cases were observed in ICU for 2 approximately 10 days, and were discharged 7 approximately 15 days after operation. The follow-up after discharge showed a satisfying outcome. The postoperative complications included low cardiac output, infection of mediastinum, and respiratory distress syndrome.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The critical and complex congenital heart diseases should by diagnosed as early as possible and emergency operation is effective and feasible.
