Key result
Recent literature highlights updated expected outcomes and innovative surgical and nonsurgical procedures for patients with various forms of congenital heart disease.
Why the study?
Updated outcomes and innovative procedures for various congenital heart diseases require synthesis and highlight important recent literature.
Updated congenital heart outcomes and procedure proposals remain hypothesis-generating; prospective trials required before practice change.
Natural and postintervention studies have updated the expected outcomes for patients with pulmonary atresia with an intact ventricular septum, critical pulmonary stenosis, transposition of the great arteries, tricuspid atresia, and for recipients of pediatric transplants. Innovative surgical and nonsurgical procedures have been proposed for patients with systemic right ventricular failure, atrioventricular discordance, and coarctation of the aorta. This review highlights these and other important topics from this year's literature.
