Sommaire:
in the post-operative period for monitoring the follow-up and potential complications.

There is no doubt that these techniques will be particularly helpful?for older children?and adults?with congenital heart disease in assessing the late impact of a congenital heart malformation and the surgical repair or palliation which may have been undertaken years previously.

The time is definitely right for a comprehensive presentation of these new diagnostic modalities and the way in which they will influence the field of congenital heart management.
