Abstract

During the 1980s and 1990s, there was a determined effort to “correct” congenital heart disease during infancy, usually within the fi rst few days or weeks of life,1–5 in an attempt to prevent secondary functional and anatomic changes in the heart and other organs and to avoid the stress of repeated hospitalization and surgery in older children and adults. Despite this, a significant proportion of patients with uncorrected congenital heart disease grow to adulthood because of the relatively “benign” nature of the condition or because they were not offered or they refused surgical treatment. In addition, a number of patients who have undergone palliative or supposedly corrective operations require further surgical treatment in adulthood. The increasing number and the specific nature of these operations have created a new subspecialty of surgery for congenital heart disease.6–9 This chapter considers some of the general features and specific conditions of congenital heart surgery in the adult.
