SummaryThe defects mentioned in this chapter are not an exhaustive list of each and every defect or lesion that pediatric cardiac surgical programs are called upon to deal with. There are other defects not listed here that would be seen by professionals involved in the care of children with heart problems. Nor is this chapter to be taken as being an authoritative statement of what the defects involve and how best they are treated. For such information, readers should refer to authoritative medical literature and texts. In addition, it is also important to note that frequently there are individual variations in each of these lesions. No two cases are alike. This chapter is intended only to acquaint the reader with those defects that will receive the most attention in this Inquiry. As one reads through the following chapters, reference back to the information contained in this chapter (as well as in the Glossary and in Chapter 3) may be helpful.
