A Surgeon's Perspective | ACHD Guideline | JACC

The ACHD Guideline gets expert perspectives in JACC’s February 24 mini-focus issue. In this interview, join JACC Consultant Sitaram M. Emani, MD, as he speaks with commentary author Emile A. Bacha, MD, FACC, about the maturation of the Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) specialty following the release of new AHA/ACC guidelines. Dr. Bacha emphasizes the necessity of a multidisciplinary "team sport" approach to care and highlights critical updates regarding earlier surgical intervention, the management of complex Fontan patients, and the treatment of vascular rings. The conversation also addresses the current shortage of ACHD specialists and the evolving nature of the field as new cohorts of complex pediatric survivors transition into adult care.
