Abstract

Informed consent is a process by which physicians and patients participate in a dialogue to explain and comprehend the nature, alternatives, benefits, and risks of a procedure or course of therapy. The legal and moral tenets hold that the patient is responsible for his/her own autonomy and is free to “make medical decisions that reflect his or her beliefs and healthcare needs”. The informed consent process for congenital heart surgery may be enhanced by the availability of accurate contemporary data on the occurrence of complications associated with a given procedure. The surgeon was aware of the recommendation from the high-profile institution and offered to perform the operation with low risk of mortality based on his overall experience. The chapter presents some cases that provide excellent examples of numerous ethical principles and deserve attention.
