Congenital Defect Surgery

The surgical team of the Stamford HVI performs adult congenital repair surgery, including closure of patent foramen ovale, atrial septal defects and ventricular defects. These common defects within the chambers of the heart allow for inconsistent blood flow and can lead to problems with oxygenation and even stroke. These are typically closed by opening the appropriate chamber and suturing the defect closed or applying  patch.

Stamford Hospitals heart surgery team is expert at repairing these types of defects with the most advanced techniques available.
