title: Adult congenital heart disease.
abstract: Much of the literature published in 1993 on the topic of adult congenital heart disease described long-term follow-up of patients following repair in childhood. This report reviews the most important papers published during the past year related to long-term follow-up, and also describes new information on the noninvasive evaluation of congenital heart disease in adults as well as the interventional cardiologic techniques that are currently being applied to treat some defects in the catheterization laboratory.
