Abstract
The treatment of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) constitutes one of the common reasons for admission to pediatric hospital units. There are approximately 30,000 infants born with CHD in the United States each year. An estimated 10,000 of these infants will require surgical correction of cardiac defects early in life [1,2].
