Diagnoses & Surgical Procedures


Congenital heart defects come in all types, from minor to major.  Defects can occur inside the heart or in the large blood vessels outside the heart.  Surgery to correct or treat congenital heart disease is required if the defects threaten the child's well-being or life.
