Survivors of Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease

With surgical intervention, survival to adulthood is common among patients with TOF, D-loop TGA, and single ventricle.

Optimal care involves multidisciplinary management including pediatric and adult cardiologists, congenital cardiac surgeons, and electrophysiologists.
