Typical life expectancy after surgery for congenital heart disease

Early detection and treatment in patients undergoing surgery for congenital heart disease does not usually affect life expectancy in most patients. Patients with congenital heart disease are categorized into a variety of subtypes: 1. For patients with atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, arterial conduit failure, pulmonary valve stenosis, coronary artery fistula, these types of patients, there are no complications early surgical treatment, most of the prognosis is relatively good. 2. The mortality rate of patients with congenital aortic stenosis who undergo surgery in adulthood is higher than that of patients who undergo surgery in childhood. 3. The prognosis of patients with tetralogy of Fallot who were not treated surgically in childhood is poor. 4. Eisenmenger syndrome is a late stage of congenital heart disease that has lost the chance of surgery and has a poor prognosis. If diagnosed with congenital heart disease, it is recommended that standardized treatment be carried out as early as possible to minimize the adverse effects of the disease, and not to be negligent so as not to delay the condition.
