Abstract
The informed consent process for congenital heart surgery may be served by accurate contemporary data on occurrence of complications. While a threshold rate of occurrence of individual complications may guide the physician, rare but important debilitating complications should also be discussed irrespective of frequency. We propose to better inform the process of informed consent by providing objective complications data.
