Foreword I
Welcome to one of the most fascinating challenges in all of clinical medicine—the conotruncal malformations—and their up-to-date management as described by many of the world’s best congenital heart surgeons. The current surgical management of tetralogy of Fallot, truncus arteriosus, interrupted aortic arch, transposition of the great arteries, corrected transposition of the great arteries, double-outlet right ventricle, and double-outlet left ventricle are all presented. Also included are brief presentations concerning the definition, genetics, embryology, pathology, classification, and echocardiographic diagnosis of these infundibulo-arterial malformations.
