About this Video

Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) with pulmonary atresia (PA) and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) is a complex and serious cardiovascular condition that typically requires surgery during infancy. Boston Children’s pulmonary artery reconstruction team effectively treats MAPCAs and improves a child’s pulmonary vascular network by combining unifocalization and interventional catheterization therapies — as one of only a few pediatric hospitals to offer this unique approach.

In this webinar, our team of experts will answer these and other questions: 
• What are MAPCAs and why are they challenging to treat?
• Why is unifocalization more effective than traditional surgical treatment?
• How does our unique use of catheterization help plan surgery and treat patients?
• How does the team ensure a child has a properly functioning pulmonary vascular network before closing a ventricular septal defect (VSD)?
• How does the pulmonary artery reconstruction team stand out for MAPCAs treatment?
