Abstract
This analysis of the EACTS-STS multi-institutional outcomes database confirms that in both Europe and North America, case complexity and mortality is highest among neonates, then infants, and then children. Regional differences in practice patterns are demonstrated, with the overall goal being the continued upgrade in the quality of surgery for congenital heart disease worldwide.
