Pediatric congenital heart surgery is a procedure to correct a structural problem in a child's heart. Learn about this procedure.
An atrial septal defect is a hole in the wall that divides the two chambers of the heart. Learn about symptoms and treatment.
A congenital anomaly in which part of the aorta is narrowed, resulting in reduced blood flow to the lower body and legs.
A life-threatening heart birth defect that interferes with normal blood flow through the heart. The heart's two great arteries, the aorta and main pulmonary artery, are switched, limiting the heart's ability to provide the body with oxygen-rich blood and preventing oxygen-poor blood from getting to the lung.
Truncus arteriosus is a rare congenital heart defect in which the heart's two main arteries don't form correctly during fetal development. It changes the way that blood moves through the heart and lungs and throughout the body.
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a congenital heart defect that leaves a small hole in a premature baby's heart. Learn about symptoms and treatment.
A heart condition in which there is narrowing at or near the pulmonary valve. As a result, the heart must work harder than usual to pump blood to the lungs where it is oxygenated. Those with moderate to severe pulmonary stenosis may experience shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain and other symptoms.
A heart murmur is an extra, unexpected sound made by the blood as it flows through the heart.
Condition in which the aortic valve has two leaflets instead of the usual three.
