Résumé :

Congenital cardiac anomalies cannot be merely classified as "less", "more", and "very" complex. However, postoperative prognosis is also determined by : the wide variability in severity of certain anomalies ; their frequent association with other cardiac or non-cardiac malformations ; age at the time of surgery ; the era, mode and quality of initial and subsequent treatment Chosen examples will illustrate how recent progress has altered prognosis. The role of early, specific and multidisciplinary care in an appropriate center is emphasized.
