Adult Congenital Heart Disease Surgery

Completed

Conditions studied: Congenital Disorders

In brief

It is now estimated that the number of adults with congenital heart disease in the U.S is over 800,000. Unfortunately, these patients, in some way, have become a lost population. They have congenital abnormalities familiar to a children's hospital, yet have surpassed the age cutoff for admission. Recently, we have developed a specialized program to care for this unique patient population. Dedicated programs such as ours hope to optimize patient care, consolidate specialized resources, provide sufficient patient numbers for training and maintain expertise and facilitate research in this unique population.
