Abstract

Advances in surgical and medical therapy for congenital heart disease have led to increased long-term survival in patients whose conditions were diagnosed in childhood. However, a subset of patients with congenital cardiovascular anomalies may first be detected in adulthood. This pictorial review summarizes the CT findings of untreated congenital cardiovascular anomalies that can present in adulthood.
