Surgery for Congenital heart defects in Vallarta - Cardiologist

Congenital heart defects are structural abnormalities that develop before birth. Depending on the condition, treatment may involve closing an opening in the heart to improve blood flow and help reduce the risk of heart rhythm problems.

Common causes

A congenital heart defect can occur when the wall separating the right and left atria does not close completely after birth. A closure procedure may be recommended to prevent abnormal blood flow between the heart's chambers.

Treatments and procedures

Congenital heart defect closure can be performed through a catheter-based procedure. A specialized device is guided through the catheter and positioned within the heart's opening to seal it and help support normal heart function.
