Resumen de Long-Term Outcomes After Repair of Congenital Heart Defects: Part 2

Marion E. McRae

• OVERVIEW: Many congenital heart defects can be repaired, but long-term monitoring is often required to forestall possible complications. This two-part article reviews 10 common congenital heart defects, their repairs, and their common long-term outcomes, along with the implications for nurses in cardiac and noncardiac settings alike. Here, in part 2, the author reviews four defects: tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries, congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, and single-ventricle defects.
