The complexity of congenital heart diseases lies in the wide range of defects affecting the heart’s anatomy and blood flow. Some conditions, such as patent ductus arteriosus, may resolve spontaneously, while others demand intricate surgical repairs or catheter-based interventions. The integration of 3D imaging and artificial intelligence has significantly improved the precision of preoperative planning and patient-specific therapies. Beyond childhood, ongoing research highlights the importance of lifelong monitoring and care to address potential complications in adulthood. This field not only advances medical treatments but also fosters multidisciplinary approaches that prioritize patient-centered care for individuals with congenital heart diseases.
