Congenital heart defect is the most common birth defect and approximately 1.4 million children are born with it every year. Pediatric cardiac surgery is one of the most resource-intensive sub-specialties. It all began with Dr Gross's first successful ligation of a patent ductus arteriosus on August 8, 1938, at the Children's Hospital in Boston. The beginnings of open-heart surgery for repair of congenital malformations, aside from Gibbon's first successful closure in Philadelphia of an atrial septal defect using an artificial heart-lung machine, can be traced to surgeons in the fifties and sixties of the 20th century. In this webinar, the story of pediatric cardiac surgery will be told, and other advances will be discussed, including state-of-the-art techniques of the past and presence.  

We look forward to your participation!
