Abstract
Dramatic evolution in the medical and surgical care of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) has led to a growing number of adults with late-onset complications, including heart failure (HF).1 In parallel with an overall increase in hospital admissions for adults with CHD (ACHD) and HF,2 CHD complexity has increased substantially in survivors over the past 2 decades.3 Heart transplant (HTx) specialists face the challenge of determining eligibility for advanced HF treatments among an increasingly complex population of CHD patients in whom guidelines for HTx and mechanical circulatory support (MCS) are scant. The purpose of this review is to provide a state-of-the-art update on HTx and MCS in CHD.
