Thanks to new and further developments of surgical procedures, it has now become possible to provide surgical treatment for any form of congenital heart defect. For some procedures, however, long-term results are not yet available. In this review, currently accepted basic principles of modern surgical treatment of congenital heart disease are discussed. On the basis of the most common anomalies, the various surgical techniques (palliation, correction and heart transplantation) are considered.
Data are presented from OPCS notification statistics and other sources on rates of congenital cardiovascular malformations in the Trent Health Region and in its constituent Districts. While Trent in general, and some of its districts in particular, show high notification rates, other data sources suggest that the underlying malformation rate may not be raised compared with that seen nationally. Reasons for this discrepancy are discussed and the OPCS notification system is compared with that in Scotland.
