Congenital Heart Disease Care
Congenital heart disease (CHD) refers to a range of abnormalities with your child’s heart structure and/or function present at birth. Get specialized care and treatment for congenital heart problems from our expert doctors and surgeons.
In most types of CHD, the heart doesn’t pump blood the way it should. Depending on the type of CHD, this can cause low oxygen levels in the blood and a blue tint to your child’s skin. Other types of CHD do not noticeably affect the oxygen level in your child’s blood.
The types of congenital heart disease we treat include:
- Absent ductus venosus
- Aortic arch hypoplasia, coarctation of the aorta or aortic arch interruption
- Aortic stenosis
- Atrioventricular canal defect/AV canal/atrioventricular septal defect
- Cardiac masses
- Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (also known as L-transposition of the great arteries)
- Congenital heart block
- Ebstein’s anomaly
- Double inlet left ventricle
- Double outlet right ventricle
- Fetal arrhythmias
- Hypoplastic left heart syndrome
- Mild valve regurgitation or stenosis
- Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return
- Premature atrial contractions
- Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum

- Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF)
- Total anomalous pulmonary venous return
