Surgery for Congenital heart defects in Los Cabos - Cardiologist

Congenital heart defects are structural abnormalities of the heart that develop before birth. Treatment may involve closing an abnormal opening in the heart to improve blood circulation and reduce the risk of complications, including heart rhythm problems.

Common causes

Some congenital heart defects occur when openings between the heart's chambers or the ductus arteriosus remain open after birth instead of closing naturally. Depending on the type and size of the defect, a closure procedure may be recommended to help restore normal blood flo

Treatments and procedures

The treatment for certain congenital heart defects involves closing an abnormal opening within the heart. A minimally invasive procedure may be performed using a catheter to position a specialized mesh-like closure device over the opening, helping seal it and support normal heart function.

Don't let heart problems hold you back. Make an appointment with the cardiologist in Guadalajara to learn more about congenital heart defect closure and determine which treatment may be appropriate for your condition.
