Condition
Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV)
Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a congenital heart defect where the two great arteries are both attached to the right ventricle. In DORV, the normally separated oxygen-rich arterial blood and oxygen-poor venous blood is mixed prior to leaving the heart.
Condition
Tricuspid Atresia
Tricuspid atresia, also sometimes called hypoplastic right heart, is a heart defect where the valve between the heart’s right atrium and right ventricle doesn’t form. Most babies with tricuspid atresia will need many heart surgeries over their lifetime.
Condition
Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA)
Transposition of the Great Arteries is a heart condition where arteries switch places and oxygenated blood goes back to lungs, not body. It can be treated with surgery and catheterization.
Condition
Pulmonary Atresia
Pulmonary atresia is a heart defect in children that affects blood flow to the lungs. It can be treated with surgery or catheterization
Condition
Pulmonary Stenosis
Pulmonary stenosis is a heart defect in children that makes it harder for blood to flow. It can be treated with surgery or catheterization.
Condition
Aortic Stenosis
Aortic stenosis is a heart condition where the valve that controls blood flow from the heart to the body is too narrow. It can be treated with surgery or catheterization.
Condition
Congenital Heart Defects
Congenital heart defects are problems with the heart that are present at birth. Some are simple and don’t need treatment, while others require surgery.
Condition
Double-Inlet Left Ventricle
Double-inlet left ventricle (DILV) is a heart defect where both upper chambers send blood to one lower chamber, causing mixed blood flow to the body and lungs. Most babies with DILV will need many heart surgeries over their lifetime. Most surgeries are successful, but your child will need cardiology care for life.
Condition
Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a congenital heart defect where most of the structures on the left side of the heart are small and underdeveloped. The Hybrid approach, developed by surgeons at Nationwide Children's Hospital, is an alternative to Norwood open heart surgery for HLHS.
Condition
Coarctation of the Aorta
Coarctation of the aorta is a heart defect that is present at birth (congenital) in which the aorta is narrowed and results in decreased blood flow to the lower body. The left ventricle (pumping chamber) of the heart must work harder in order to pump blood through the narrowed aorta.
