    Distribution of individual 18- to 24-month mental and psychomotor developmental indices for 34 survivors (open circles for 31 simple and closed circles for 3 complex) after total anomalous pulmonary venous connection repair (TAPVC) at 6 weeks or younger, with broken line indicating mean scores after simple repair and solid line indicating mean scores after complex repair. MDI, Bayley Scales of Infant Development II (1993) Mental Developmental Index; PDI, Bayley Scales of Infant Development II (1993) Psychomotor Developmental Index.
