What is Pediatric Cardiac Surgery for Coarctation Repair?
Pediatric Cardiac Surgery for Coarctation Repair is a specialized surgical procedure aimed at correcting a congenital heart defect known as coarctation of the aorta. This condition involves a narrowing of the aorta, the large blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The narrowing typically occurs just after the arteries that supply blood to the head and arms, which can lead to significant complications if left untreated.
