Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is one the most common birth defect. Sixty years ago, only 20% of all children born with CHD survived to adulthood. This has now increased to over 90%. These patients have a lifetime risk of complications. Therefore, it is important that they are cared for by a team of professionals who understand their underlying defect, the specific type of interventions they have undergone, and the long-term sequelae they are at risk from. This one-day case based CME symposium will discuss the current and relevant topics of adult congenital heart disease and cardiovascular disease in the younger patient. In addition, we will review current trends in the management of peripheral vascular disease.

1. Review common structural abnormalities of Adult Congenital Heart Disease
2. Discuss screening and management of such patients
3. Identify the challenges that patients with Adult Congenital Heart Disease will pose to providers
4. Review the different Catheter directed therapies that are currently available for patients with Adult Congenital Heart Disease, the indications, the complications as well as the follow up
5. Review the current diagnosis and management of complex coronary and vascular disease in young patients
6. Set guidelines to the development of multidisciplinary programs for the management of patients with PAD
7. Review the issues related with pregnancy in patients with Adult Congenital Heart Disease, including prophylaxis, volume managements, and early pregnancy termination
