TY  - CHAP
AB - The successful management and correction of congenital heart defects during infancy have resulted in an increasing number of adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). There are numerous issues to be considered when caring for adult CHD (ACHD) patients, many of which are unique to this population. Resternotomy in patients who have undergone prior palliative or corrective procedures carries an increased risk. The groin should be prepped and draped into the operative field should rapid access be required during resternotomy. Planning for an anesthetic procedure requires in-depth knowledge of the cardiac anatomy and physiology and the patient's medical history. On completion of the operation, the patient is transported to the intensive care unit. Coarctation of the aorta has a biphasic presentation. Initial presentation is shortly after birth when the ductus begins to close, resulting in the sequelae of decreased blood flow distal to the coarctation.
