Long-term surgical and socioeconomic outcomes following aortopulmonary septal defect repair in children [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Phillip Naimo (Principal investigator)

Brief description About 2% of heart defects are due to communication between the 2 main arteries exiting the heart (truncus arteriosus and aortopulmonary window). If untreated, up to 30% of children die in the first year of life. With surgery many patients are now surviving into adulthood. The long-term outcomes are unknown. This study will review all patients with this defect across Australian and New Zealand. Results from this study will allow us to best manage these patients in the short and long-term.
