Cardiac Conversations: Understanding a vascular ring reoperation

Surgical treatment of a vascular ring is complex. A vascular ring surrounds vital structures and critical nerves, often requiring children to need more than one operation to treat their symptoms. Boston Children’s Vascular Ring and Airway Program has extensive experience understanding what causes recurring symptoms and determining whether a child needs a vascular ring reoperation or care for another condition.

In this webinar, our team of experts will answer these and other questions: 
• Why are vascular rings complex to treat?
• Why can children who had an operation still have symptoms?
• Does every child with symptoms need another operation?
• What does a reoperation involve?
• How does Boston Children’s multidisciplinary team address every aspect of treatment?
