Balloon angioplasty is a surgery that is used to open a narrowed blood vessel in the heart. Learn about balloon angioplasty for pulmonary artery stenosis.
Balloon angioplasty, also known as balloon dilation, is used to expand narrowed blood vessels. Read more about angioplasty.
Learn about pulmonary stenosis. This condition involves the pulmonary valve being unable to open completely. This results in constricted blood flow.
Balloon angioplasty is used to reopen an area of the aorta that has become constricted due to coarctation or recoarctation. Read more about angioplasty.
Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is when there is a narrowing or blockage in the pulmonary veins. It is a rare disease and if it progresses, it can lead to pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure.
Valve dilation uses heart catheterization to open a narrowed valve in the heart. Read about valve dilation, possible complications and recovery.
Read about fenestration closure after a Fontan operation, a surgery to close the hole between your child's heart and the tunnel that moves blood to the lungs.
Read about pulmonary atresia; a condition involving the pulmonary valve, between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery, not forming completely.
A heart stent is a small metal tube that is placed inside a narrowed blood vessel or conduit to keep it open. Read about heart stent surgery and recovery.
Heart catheterization may be used to correct various kinds of heart defects. Learn how to prepare for heart catheterization and how to care for your child at home.
Learn about aortic stenosis in childhood. With this illness, the aortic valve is unable to open completely, which constricts or squeezes blood flow.
Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a condition where the arteries connected to the heart are in the wrong spot. Learn about the diagnosis, treatment and what you can expect in the future.
Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a condition where the arteries connected to the heart are improperly positioned. Learn about the diagnosis, treatment and what children with a repaired TGA can expect in the future.
An atrial septal defect is an opening in the membrane between two chambers of the heart. Learn about heart catheterization to fix atrial septal defects.
A ventricular septal defect is a hole in the membrane that separates the two ventricles of the heart. Read how heart catheterization fixes this defect.
Pulmonary artery banding is done to reduce blood flow to the lungs.
Learn about the symptoms, causes and treatment of pulmonary hypertension in children.
Learn about common arterial trunk, a defect in which a single great artery comes out of the ventricles instead of the usual pulmonary artery and aorta.
Catheter ablation is a treatment for children with certain types of tachycardia (rapid heart rate). Treatment involves destroying an abnormal circuit.
Noonan syndrome is a genetic condition. Learn about the symptoms and diagnosis of Noonan syndrome and the heart conditions associated with the condition.
Read about Tetralogy of Fallot, a condition involving four congenital defects that occur when the heart does not develop normally.
Balloon atrial septostomy is a procedure to expand an atrial septal defect and improve oxygenation of the blood. It is often performed for infants with certain types of congenital heart disease (CHD) such as transposition of the great arteries.
Surgical valvotomy is a procedure to enlarge narrowed heart valves.
Learn what an angioplasty is and how it is done using image guidance.
