This perspective paper is aimed to describe an Italian experience related to the empirical implementation of Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) transition care models, highlighting the most significant author’s perspectives. The CHD transition care models implementation strategy adopted at Policlinico San Donato (Italy) is closely linked to the clinical practice and to the research activity at national and international level.
