Abstract
Grâce à l'amélioration de la chirurgie cardiaque, les enfants avec une malformation cardiaque congénitale atteignent actuellement en grande majorité l'âge adulte avec une bonne qualité de vie. Un suivi cardiaque régulier est toutefois recommandé. La période de l'adolescence coïncide souvent avec la survenue de complications à moyen et long termes et la nécessité d'une reprise chirurgicale ou par cathétérisme interventionnel, en particulier chez les patients avec cardiopathie complexe. Par conséquent, il est primordial de débuter le processus de transition assez tôt et de la poursuivre jusqu'à l'âge adulte. Nous avons élaboré un programme de transition formel, adapté aux patients avec cardiopathie congénitale.
With the improvement of congenital heart surgery, most children with congenital heart disease will survive into adulthood with a good quality of life. Regular cardiac follow-up is recommended for all patients. The adolescent period coincides often with medium and long term consequences and complications and repeat surgery or catheter interventions might be needed. It is therefore of prime importance to begin the transition process early and to pursue it well into adulthood. We have elaborated a formal transition program adapted to youngsters with congenital heart disease.
