Correction of Congenital Heart Defects

Anomalies such as holes, stenoses (narrowness), abnormal vessel connections can occur within heart due to defective development of heart within mother’s womb. Certain people who suffer from such defects have purple skin color and children indicate developmental disorders. Procedures which would ensure complete correction of this defect or survival are performed with congenital heart surgery. Unfortunately, children who do not receive this treatment face early loss of life or lose the chance of a future surgery.

Congenital heart defects occur with a wide range of variety, therefore their treatments vary as well. Age and weight of a child also affects the treatment method to be applied. Therefore, our physicians in the relevant department are always there for you in order to make the required explanations to you regarding the disease and treatment options of your child.
