The pioneers of early surgical intervention to correct congenital cardiac anomalies - the multidisciplinary team at the largest paediatric hospital in the USA - share the advanced techniques and protocols they have developed and refined over the past two decades. These techniques reduce the high mortality rate associated with congenital anomalies during the first year of life. And they prevent the irreversible secondary organ damage caused when surgery is deferred until later in childhood. All of the procedures are described in detail and original surgical renderings illustrate the techniques. Clear coverage of the entire spectrum of congenital heart disease - anomaly by anomaly, is accompanied by the latest relevant developmental and research issues that differentiate infant heart surgery from surgery of the older child and adult. Offers direct access to the extensive clinical experience of acknowledged experts at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Provides guidelines to postoperative care, treatment of complications, early and late results - in addition to clear descriptions of procedures for over 20 congenital defects. Features the latest information on developmental biology and the unique problems associated with cardiopoulmonary bypass, hypothermai, circulatory arrest, myocardial protection, anaesthesia, and interventional cardiology. Includes valuable coverage of transplantation and fetal surgery.
