Heart surgery
December 29th, 2009
Question: my son 1year 2mesyatsa, he has Down syndrome, only recently he was diagnosed with heart disease, cardio-consultation took place, we scheduled an operation. My question is: Is it possible at this age to do such operations, and what the probability of recovery? And why this urgency?
Answer: With some heart defects surgery should be done at an early age (Depending on the size of the defect). If you do not do the surgery in time, the disease goes too far (irreversibly increases pressure in the pulmonary artery). Children carry these operations sometimes even better than adults. In some (small) DMZHP may intravascular defect closure okklyuderom.
