Supports lifelong surveillance for late complications in survivors; leaves open optimal preventive strategies.
Surgical and interventional management of congenital heart disease yields high survival rates into adulthood, though lifelong surveillance is required for late complications like arrhythmias and heart failure.
Holst et al. (2017) conducted a review in Congenital Heart Disease. Interventional and Surgical Management was evaluated. Surgical management of congenital heart disease results in 90% to 95% of patients surviving into adulthood with good quality of life, despite early neonatal mortality of approximately 10%.
