چکیده

Mortality rates after cardiac surgery are highest amongst neonates, particularly those born prematurely. There are several reasons for the increased surgical mortality risk in neonates. This review outlines these risks, with particular emphasis on the relative immaturity of the organ systems in the term and preterm neonate.
