Pregnancy can be a stressful and confusing experience when your baby is diagnosed with a heart defect. The Fetal Cardiology Program at Children's Hospital Boston offers help. Fetal heart surgeries are procedures that correct a baby's heart defect while she is still in her mother's womb.
Staffed by a multidisciplinary team of pediatric cardiologists, the program offers a variety of services related to the diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects.
Innovator in fetal heart surgery
In 2001, Children's doctors completed the first successful fetal heart surgery in United States history. Since then, they have performed more than 105 of these procedures with increasing success, establishing Children's as one of the preeminent hospitals in the world for fetal heart surgeries.
