The importance of regional centres in the management of adults with congenital heart disease in Switzerland: a retrospective, multicentric cohort study
In Switzerland, regional ACHD centres provide an important contribution to the management of the growing cohort of adult congenital heart disease patients. Most hospitalisations were managed locally. This was particularly true for emergencies, arrhythmia and heart failure hospitalisations. The main reasons for referral to supraregional ACHD centres were complex percutaneous interventions.
