Abstract

Optimal management of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) requires a multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach, fostering a collaborative culture over an individualistic approach. Within this framework, subspecialty‐trained radiologists provide crucial imaging expertise, supporting cardiologists, surgeons, and interventional cardiologists in diagnoses, treatment planning, and follow‐up evaluations. Advanced imaging tools and a nuanced understanding of surgical and interventional procedures enable radiologists to provide valuable insights to clinicians. In this review, we discuss the structure of ACHD MDT meeting at a quaternary center, briefly review the general principles of interventions in ACHD and the subsequent complications encountered in adulthood, formulate an approach to imaging and reporting such complex repaired cases, and review the key information to be mentioned in the report for further surgery/intervention. In this review, we use the format of eight key take‐home lessons from an MDT management practice in ACHD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
