Abstract
Due to tremendous development in cardiothoracic surgery, over the past decades, 95 % of newborns with congenital heart disease (CHD) survive into adulthood. Although most of adult patients with CHD have undergone surgical intervention during childhood and also there have been recently remarkable advances in percutaneous transcatheter techniques to treat adult congenital heart disease (ACHD), a significant proportion of these patients will have to undergo cardiovascular surgery at some point in adulthood.
