Abstract
The treatment of children with CHD and associated multiple lesions is connected with higher mortality risk. The following factors: younger age, urgency of surgical procedure, and primary surgical procedure had negative impact on patient's outcome. However, these risks in certain cases are inevitable. The cardiac procedure preceding the surgical operation may improve the overall effect of treatment because of circulatory stabilization, provided that the condition of the patient does not preclude any intervention at all.
