Angioplasty
Treatment
Angioplasty is a minimally invasive interventional radiology procedure in which imaging technologies are used to guide a catheter into an artery or vein.
Aortic Valve Disease
Condition
Aortic valve disease disrupts this intricate blood flow process, and can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, and potentially heart failure.
Aortic Valve Stenosis
Condition
Aortic valve stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve that can stop blood from flowing properly out of the heart.
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
Condition
An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a hole in the heart wall that separates the top two chambers of the heart.
Cardiac Catheterization Procedure
Treatment
Cardiac catheterization is a specialized procedure in which a long, flexible tube — a catheter — is inserted into a vein or artery and guided into the heart.
Coarctation of the Aorta
Condition
Coarctation of the aorta is a narrowing of the aorta, the main artery that delivers oxygen-rich (red) blood to the body.
Mitral Valve Disease
Condition
Mitral valve disease disrupts the flow of oxygen-rich blood through those chambers and affects the rest of the body.
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Condition
Patent ductus arteriosus is a congenital heart condition where there is a persistent connection between the pulmonary artery and the aorta.
Pulmonary Valve Disease
Condition
Pulmonary valve disease narrows the pulmonary valve and affects the critical flow of blood to the lungs.
Pulmonary Valve Stenosis
Condition
Pulmonary valve stenosis is the term describing a narrowing in the opening of the pulmonary valve.
Pulmonary Vein Stenosis
Condition
Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare condition in which the veins that carry blood from the lungs back to the heart are narrowed.
Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA)
Condition
Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is when the “great” arteries, the aorta and the right ventricle, are reversed in their origins from the heart.
Tricuspid Valve Disease
Condition
Tricuspid valve disease impedes the circulation process.
Truncal Valve Disease
Condition
Truncal valve disease is when a child has only one main blood vessel attached to the heart, instead of two.
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
Condition
A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a hole in the wall that separates the lower right and left heart chambers (ventricles).
