Abstract
We emphasize the importance of multidetector CT as a complementary technique for the study of congenital heart disease that is newly discovered in adults or for the follow-up of congenital heart disease that was surgically corrected during childhood. When vascular anomalies are present outside the heart or after palliative surgery, multidetector CT shows anatomical details that are difficult or impossible to see with echocardiography. We also emphasize the frequent association between pulmonary hypertension and congenital heart disease that can debut in adults.
