Abstract
A significant number of neonates are born with conditions requiring surgery or develop such problems after birth. By reviewing the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and treatment of neonatal cardiovascular compromise, this chapter highlights the problems specific to the cardiovascular system in neonates requiring surgery. Finally, the chapter describes the most common and challenging neonatal surgical disease entities with a primary emphasis on their pre-operative, surgical, and post-operative cardiovascular management.
