Learn more about the following surgical procedures, operations, and rare congenital heart defects such as:

  • Atrial Septal Defect >
    An atrial septal defect (ASD) is an opening in the wall between the two top chambers of the heart: the right atrium and the left atrium. It is one of the most common types of congenital heart defects, comprising approximately 10%, and is more common in females than males.

  • Eisenmenger Syndrome >
    For children born with congenital heart defects, such as large holes or large connections between the great arteries, they are at risk for developing a progressive blood vessel disease in their lungs if their heart defects are not repaired early in life.

  • Fontan Operation >
    First performed in 1971 by Frances Fontan and Eugene Baudet, the Fontan procedure is a surgical procedure performed for single ventricle physiology.

  • Marfan Syndrome >
    Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the body's connective tissue. Connective tissue holds the body's cells, organs, and other tissue together. Connective tissue is also important in growth and development.

  • Tricuspid Atresia >
    Tricuspid atresia is a rare congenital heart defect in which the tricuspid valve, the valve between the right atrium (upper chamber) and the right ventricle (lower chamber), does not develop.
