Abstract

A series of forty-one patients who have attained adulthood despite significant hemodynamic congenital heart defects is presented. Thirty-four have undergone open heart methods and seven, closed heart procedures. Only one death occurred in the series, a mortality of 2.4 per cent. Two patients had complications but survived. All patients but one have returned to full occupation and are asymptomatic. We believe that every patient with hemodynamically significant heart disease should undergo repair regardless of age.
