Published national statistics for the last decade in the UK were utilized to figure out the reality of interventions in adolescents and adults with congenital heart disease. There was a clear indication of increase in the number of procedures of some specific types, such as pulmonary valve replacement and other heart valve surgery. Intervention for closure of inter-atrial communication was another entity that showed a marked rise in numbers during the last 10 years. Overall survival rates at 30 days and 1 year were encouraging, including those for relatively uncommon procedures. On the basis of growing understanding and meticulous investigation into every aspect of this field, clinical practice in adults with congenital heart disease is likely directed to a promising future.
利用英国过去十年公布的全国统计数据来弄清楚对患有先天性心脏病的青少年和成年人进行干预的实际情况。有明确迹象表明，某些特定类型的手术数量有所增加，比如肺动脉瓣置换术和其他心脏瓣膜手术。房间隔缺损封堵术是另一个在过去十年中数量显著上升的项目。30天和1年的总体生存率令人鼓舞，包括那些相对不常见手术的生存率。基于对该领域各个方面不断加深的理解和细致研究，患有先天性心脏病的成年人的临床实践可能指向一个充满希望的未来。
