  • Management of adult congenital heart diseases in Slovenia = Obravnava odraslih bolnikov s prirojenimi srčnimi napakami v Sloveniji
    Koželj, Mirta ...
    The incidence of congenital heart disease (CHD) is 0.8%. Ninety percent of patients (pts) with congenital heart diseases (CHD) survive to adulthood. The aim of this article is to present an overview ... of ACHD in Slovenia. With a fertility rate of 18,000 newborns per year, there are 100 new such pts each year in Slovenia. A specialized centre for ACHD has operated at the Ljubljana University Medical Centre since 1998. The transfer to adult care is done at the age of 18. Speciat attention is paid to the management of these diseases during pregnancy. Over the 7-year period between 1998 and 2004, 603 adult pts (age at admittance 18-76 years, mean age 31 years) with CHD were admited, but their number continues to rise. Out of these 603 pts, 168 were diagnosed in adulthood (Group A) and 435 childhood (Group B). Atrial septal defect was the most common cardiac malformation (23.7%) and also the most common abnormality detected in adulthood (56.5%). Two hundred and twelve pts (48.7% of patients in Group B) underwent surgicat correction in childhood. Sixty-six pts were operated on in adulthood. Twenty-seven percutaneous closures were performed, with closure of atrial septal defect (21 pts) and occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus (6 pts). No major complications were observed. The overall mortality rate of our pts is 1.3% (8 out of 603 pts). The results are comparable to similar studies and also to the results of the Euro Heart SurveyStudy on Congenital Heart Disease in Adutts, in which we also participated as investigators.
