The purpose of this literature review is to discuss the mechanisms of a cardiac arrest and how it contributes to the high-risk classification of congenital heart disease patients. While assessing the diagnoses process and types of treatments applied to cardiac arrest and congenital heart disease separately, we further explain this information’s significance by combining their incidence rates and analyzing their associations as it relates to surgical operations. A narrative review of studies is conducted in pediatrics and adults to reveal distinctions in lesion characteristics and interventions, as well as limitations that permit inconsistencies in data reports on health outcomes. There is not adequate research and data collection in reference to perioperative cardiac arrest in congenital heart disease patients and the aim of this paper is to highlight the need for further studies and to present current research that has been conducted to fill the gaps of this global health issue.
