The walter sisulu paediatric cardiac centre for Africa: proceedings of the 2010 symposium.

The symposium's first session was embryological, with emphasis on changing concepts in the development of the heart; double outlet right atrium and isolation of the right subclavian artery provided interesting illustrations. Focus was subsequently directed at management of pulmonary atresia with MAPCAs, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, the primary arterial switch operation in the first 10 weeks of life, Ebstein's anomaly and several others.
