Long-term outcome after surgery for congenital heart disease in infancy and childhood

Research output: Thesis › Doctoral thesis 3 (Research UU / Graduation NOT UU)

Abstract

Before the era of cardiac surgery about half of the patients born with a congenital heart defect died within the first year of life. Survival until adulthood was very rare for patients with transposition of the great arteries (20 years survival <1 %), rare with tetralogy of Fallot (20 years survival <10%) and although survival beyond two decades was more common for patients with atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis, their life expectancy also was considerably reduced.
