Abstract

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is present in about 9 of every 1,000 live-born children. Children with CHD are surviving longer, and a better understanding of the long-term complications of CHD is continuously emerging. Hence, it is important to be comfortable with the primary care requirements for these children. A thorough understanding of the anatomy and morphology of complex congenital heart disease is essential for the successful management of patients with complex congenital heart disease and to avoid unwanted complications. A present retrospective observational study was designed to assess the rate of mortality associated with various complications postoperative in children with congenital heart disease. Total of 244 patients were included in the study. 84 were reported with various complications. And 48 patients were died early or late follow up after the operation. The percentage of mortality in patients with complex congenital heart disease was found to be higher.
