title: [Problems of the surgical treatment of congenital heart defects in adult patients].
abstract: A total of 175 adult patients with congenital heart diseases were investigated, of whom 140 were operated upon and 62 examined late after surgery. As noted, characteristic of adult patients were subjective complains, progressive pulmonary hypertension in defects with the blood shunting from the left to right and, because of this, the emergence of atypical symptoms of the defects. Surgical correction yields quite satisfactory results, but the presence of pulmonary hypertension tends to greatly increase the operative risk.
