The most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease in adults is tetralogy of Fallot. Most patients with congenital heart disease will need to undergo surgery, catheterization, or catheterization intervention. Results are excellent in the adult population. Atrial septal defect is a common cardiac anomaly that may be first encountered in the adult Defects of the ventricular septum are common as isolated defects or as a component of a combination of anomalies. The ductus arteriosus is a vessel leading from the bifurcation of the pulmonary artery to the aorta just distal to the left subclavian artery. Normally, the vascular channel is open in the fetus but closes immediately after birth. Aneurysm of an aortic sinus of Valsalva consists of a separation or ...
