Abstract:
Adult congenital heart disease refers to a group of congenital malformations in children caused by the ac-tual or potential of the cardiovascular abnormalities during the fetal period. Adult congenital heart disease was less in the past years. In the recent 20 years, the category of the disease gradually has increased, and especially the complex deformities demanding for surgical treatment increases every year, including complex great arteries translocation, single ventricle and so on. Currently, Color Doppler echocardiography can be used as the primary method for screening and diagnosis of congenital heart disease. In the recent years, the interventional therapy was preferred in the treatment of congenital heart disease, but surgical treatment, including one stage operation and staging operation was still preferred in the treatment of adult congenital heart disease for abnormal changes of structure, function and physical condition. Because the disease is congenital, the time of incidence is long, and clinical symptoms appear in late adulthood, lack-ing early-specificity, but with potentially fatality, it is prone to missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis in clinical work. Now, researches related to surgical treatment of adult congenital heart disease was reviewed.
