Adult Congenital Heart Surgical Care
Innovations have dramatically extended the lives of those with congenital heart disease. As a result, we now have a growing adult population requiring surgical repairs and “updates” of earlier procedures. As the body matures, we may need to revise childhood operations for septal defects (holes in the walls separating the upper and lower chambers of the heart) or other abnormalities. Adults may also develop new lesions surrounding earlier repairs. In addition, newly recognized congenital defects and complex arrhythmias may require surgical attention.
