Abstract
One-stage correction of operable congenital cardiac defects in infancy, the operative treatment of transposition of the great arteries and the operative management of intracardial stenosis or atresia with a conduit are examples of the progress achieved in the treatment of congenital heart disease. The improvement in preoperative diagnosis, supporting medication, the technique of extracorporeal circulation and in surgical technique are the reasons why nowadays only a few, rare congenital malformations of the heart are inoperable.
