ABSTRACT
Non invasive techniques are the procedures of choice in the assessment of the adult patient with congenital heart disease. Currently cardiac catheterization is mainly pointed towards interventional purposes; however in some cases such as complex congenital heart conditions, it is a valuable auxiliary method. Preassure measurements, oximetry and angiography are fundamental in the assessment of patients with selected cardiac disease without treatment; palliative or corrective surgery.
