Tempistica dell'intervento e esiti a lungo termine nella malattia cardiaca congenita lieve: uno studio di 35 anni dal Pediatric Cardiac Care Consortium.

BACKGROUND: Mild congenital heart diseases such as atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and pulmonary valve stenosis constitute a significant public health problem. Understanding long-term outcomes after interventions for mild congenital heart disease is essential to inform lifelong care. METHODS: We queried the Pediatric Cardiac Care Consortium, a multicenter US-based registry of patients with congenital heart disease interventions, for patients undergoing surgical or transcatheter procedures for atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and pulmonary valve stenosis; 17 407 patients were included.
