Disease management and monitoring
Active treatment with regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended.
Interventional catheterization
Minimally invasive catheter-based procedures to close defects, widen narrowed vessels, or repair certain structural abnormalities without open heart surgery.
Open heart surgical repair
Traditional surgical approach for complex defects requiring direct visualization, including valve repairs, complex reconstructions, or multistage procedures.
Additional treatment options
Anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy
Blood thinning medications to prevent clot formation in reconstructed vessels or around artificial materials used during surgical repair.
medicationCardiac-protective nutrition
Sodium-restricted, heart-healthy diet emphasizing fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins to reduce fluid retention and support cardiovascular health.
dietaryRegular cardiac imaging surveillance
Scheduled echocardiograms, cardiac MRI, or CT scans to assess surgical outcomes, ventricular function, and detect any residual defects or complications.
