Surgery for Congenital heart defects in Mérida - Cardiologist

Congenital heart abnormalities are conditions present from birth. The treatment aims to close the defect, optimizing blood circulation and preventing irregularities in the heart's rhythm.

Common causes

The surgery is performed to close the upper and lower atrial cavities of the heart and the ductus arteriosus, which should close on their own sometime after a baby's birth.

Treatments and procedures
