Surgical repair of AAOCA is generally safe and adverse events are rare. Restenosis, and even sudden cardiac events, can occur and long-term surveillance is critical. Multi-institutional collaboration is vital to identify at-risk subpopulations and refine current recommendations for long-term management.

Simulation is used in many aspects of medical training but less so for echocardiography instruction in paediatric cardiology. We report our experience with the introduction of simulator-based echocardiography training at Weill Cornell Medicine for paediatric cardiology fellows of the New York-Presbyterian Hospital of Columbia University and Weill Cornell Medicine. Knowledge of CHD and echocardiographic performance improved following simulation-based training. Simulator training in echocardiography can be an effective addition to standard training for paediatric cardiology trainees.
