Abstract
The number of children surviving medical management and surgical repair of congenital heart lesions has steadily increased. Children with complex heart defects are therefore seen with increasing frequency in emergency departments. This article reviews the epidemiology of congenital heart disease, some common types of surgical repair, and a few postoperative complications and their management.
