Abstract

Introduction Prevalence of adults with congenital heart disease is changing. Most surviving patients from surgical or interventional treatment present
sequels and residual lesions or complications, which could progress during adult life, and there is still another population that receives for
first time surgical treatment in adult life. We analyze our experience in 23 years of surgical treatment of adult.

Method A descriptive study with transversal cut was conducted, which included those adults patients operated on congenital heart disease. The
patients were divided in two period of time: 1987 to 1999 and 2000 to 2010. Patients were divided in two group: those receive for first time
the operation (Group I), and those that received surgery treatment during infancy (Group II). Results were analyzed in percentage and
were presented in tables and a graphic.

Result Tetralogy of Fallot was the congenital heart disease more frequent. Surgery strategy for Group I was corrective in 91,3 %, in the Group II was
the surgery for sequel residual lesions. Survival were 72,2 % and 94,2 % in first and second period respectively. The survival was highest
in the first group.

Conclusions Second period of time the percentage of patient were highest and re operation for sequels or residual lesions. The surveillance has been
improved in two decades of work.
