[Percutaneous correction of structural congenital heart diseases during the early puerperium. Experience of a center].

Objetive: Congenital heart diseases (CHD) can be found in pregnant women. Although cardiac interventions in the catheterization laboratory are considered safe and effective, it is preferable to wait 3-6 months after delivery to correct simple, uncomplicated CHD; however, this may result in follow-up losses.

This study aims to evaluate the association between frailty and the risk of adverse outcomes in patients over 65 years old diagnosed with ACS.
