Class I

"1.All patients with CCTGA should have a regular follow-up with a cardiologist who has expertise in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). (Level of Evidence: C)

"2.Echocardiography-Doppler study and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be performed yearly or at least every other year by staff trained in imaging complex congenital heart disease (CHD). (Level of Evidence: C)

"3.The following diagnostic evaluations are recommended for patients with CCTGA: Electrocardiogram (ECG). (Level of Evidence: C) Chest x-ray. (Level of Evidence: C) Echocardiography-Doppler study. (Level of Evidence: C) MRI. (Level of Evidence: C) Exercise testing. (Level of Evidence: C) References
