    AbstractAs the outcome of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) has improved, the number of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) outnumbered pediatric population with CHD. Heart failure is responsible for 40% of mortality among ACHD, and the number of heart transplantation for ACHD is gradually increasing. However, the early mortality rate of heart transplantation is significantly higher in ACHD than in non-ACHD. Understanding the unique characteristics of heart transplantation in ACHD is critical. In contrast to their early outcome their long-term survival is better in ACHD than in non-CHD patients, and they are likely to present to anesthesia care after heart transplantation for various reasons. Understanding specific issues in post-transplant anesthesia care is another important aspect.
