Surgery for Congenital heart defects in México City - Cardiologist

Congenital heart defects are structural abnormalities that are present at birth. Treatment may involve closing an abnormal opening in the heart to improve blood circulation and help maintain a regular heart rhythm.

Common causes

One congenital condition occurs when the artery connecting the aorta to the lungs, known as the ductus arteriosus, remains open after birth. Since this connection is normally no longer needed once a newborn begins breathing through the lungs, a procedure may be performed to close it and restore normal circulation.

Treatments and procedures

Treatment for certain congenital heart defects involves closing openings or connections that should naturally close after birth. Depending on the condition, a catheter-based procedure may be used to place a specialized device that seals the abnormal opening and helps improve blood flow.

Your heart deserves proper care. Schedule a consultation with the cardiologist in Mexico City to learn more about congenital heart defect closure procedures and determine the most appropriate treatment for your condition.
