A retrospective study of 9 children under 2 operated on of aorto-pulmonary window at the Heart Center of "William Soler" Pediatric Teaching Hospital from 1986 to 1994 was conducted. Fentanyl was the most used agent in the induction of anesthesia (8 patients, 89 %) and it was administered to all patients during maintenance, which made possible a great hemodynamic stability. The complications found were the syndrome of low cardiac output, bronchospasm, pulmonary hypertension and cardiac arrhythmias. The protocol for the management of pulmonary hypertension was used with all patients. Deaths were not reported either during the transoperative or in the immediate postoperative.
