[Our experience in heart surgery in early childhood (children less than 2 years old)].

We review 109 patients with congenital heart disease under (two year of life, surgically treated between June 1978 and October 1981; 44% were under six months and 71% were under one year. Fifty six patients were operated under cardio-pulmonary by-pass, in 41 we used deep hypothermia with total cardio-respiratory arrest, 21% of them were under three months of life an 53% under one year. We present the morbidity and mortality together with the pulmonary management. Eighty five percent of the cases remained intubated postoperative by for less than 12 hours. The postoperative pulmonary evolution was quite similar for different types of congenital heart disease, such as T. Fallot, A-V canal, transposition, etc., and there was no statistically significant difference between them in terms of respiratory assistance and pulmonary complications. Eleven patients died (19%), all of them under six months of life. In 53 patients operated, without extracorporeal circulation, 38 had total correction and 15 palliative procedures. The mortality in this group was 9% (5 cases), all of the under one month of life. The global mortality was 14%. We discuss our present surgical indications in view of our results.
