sequels and residual lesions or complications, which could progress during adult life, and there is still another population that receives for
first time surgical treatment in adult life. We analyze our experience in 23 years of surgical treatment of adult.
Method A descriptive study with transversal cut was conducted, which included those adults patients operated on congenital heart disease. The
patients were divided in two period of time: 1987 to 1999 and 2000 to 2010. Patients were divided in two group: those receive for first time
the operation (Group I), and those that received surgery treatment during infancy (Group II). Results were analyzed in percentage and
were presented in tables and a graphic.
