Aortic Valve Stenosis
Condition
Aortic valve stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve that can stop blood from flowing properly out of the heart.
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
Condition
An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a hole in the heart wall that separates the top two chambers of the heart.
Atrioventricular Canal Defect
Condition
An atrioventricular canal defect, or AV canal, is a combination of several closely associated heart problems that result in a large defect in the center of the heart.
Bacterial Endocarditis
Condition
Bacterial endocarditis is an infection of the lining of the heart.
Coarctation of the Aorta
Condition
Coarctation of the aorta is a narrowing of the aorta, the main artery that delivers oxygen-rich (red) blood to the body.
Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV)
Condition
Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a type of rare congenital heart condition.
Ebstein's Anomaly
Condition
Ebstein’s anomaly is a rare heart defect that affects the tricuspid valve.
Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS)
Condition
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a spectrum of heart diseases in which the left-heart structures are underdeveloped.
Marfan Syndrome
Condition
Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes the body's connective tissues to be weaker than they should be.
Pulmonary Valve Stenosis
Condition
Pulmonary valve stenosis is the term describing a narrowing in the opening of the pulmonary valve.
Pulmonary Vein Stenosis
Condition
Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare condition in which the veins that carry blood from the lungs back to the heart are narrowed.
Single Ventricle Defects
Condition
A single ventricle defect occurs when one of the two pumping chambers in the heart, called ventricles, isn’t large enough or strong enough to work correctly.
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)
Condition
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a serious congenital heart defect where the heart’s anatomy prevents enough oxygen-poor (blue) blood from flowing to the lungs to receive oxygen.
Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA)
Condition
Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is when the “great” arteries, the aorta and the right ventricle, are reversed in their origins from the heart.
Tricuspid Atresia
Condition
In tricuspid atresia, the tricuspid valve — which is normally located between the right atrium and the right ventricle — is missing, as is the right ventricle.
Truncus Arteriosus
Condition
Truncus arteriosus is a heart defect in which a single artery instead of two (truncus arteriosus) carries blood from the heart.
Vascular Ring
Condition
A vascular ring occurs when a child’s aorta — the body’s largest blood vessel — or its branches form abnormally.
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
Condition
A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a hole in the wall that separates the lower right and left heart chambers (ventricles).
