Atrioventricular Canal Defect
Atrioventricular canal defect, or AV canal defect, is a condition where a combination of congenital (present at birth) heart defects results in a large hole in the center of the heart. Since it develops while a baby is growing in the womb, this condition may be diagnosed during prenatal tests. Babies can have either a complete or a partial AV canal defect, but heart surgery will be needed to repair the problem and the heart defects that caused it.
If your baby has AV canal defect, our board-certified, fellowship-trained pediatric cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons (specialists in surgical procedures of the chest, including the heart and lungs) are here to educate your family, address your concerns, and offer advanced diagnostic and treatment planning. The 消消消消消消消娼瞳 Children'sCardiac Center offers world-class pediatric heart care, delivered in a family-centered setting.
