Certain cardiovascular entities which may require operative treatment during the first six months of life are here considered by pathologist, pediatrician, and surgeon. Emphasis is placed on lesions not presently correctible; this brings out not only the indications for palliation and the operative procedures available, but also the general approach of the pediatric cardiologist to the infant critically ill with cardiovascular disease. Recognition and treatment of cardiac failure, details of diagnostic studies and choice of operative procedure are debated against a background of the pathophysiology of these lesions.
