Trends in mortality rate in patients with congenital heart disease undergoing noncardiac surgical procedures at children’s hospitals

Abstract Advances made in pediatric cardiology, cardiac surgery and critical care have significantly improved the survival rate of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) leading to an increase in children with CHD presenting for noncardiac surgical procedures. This study aims (1) to describe t...
