Intracardiac Repair Procedures

Intracardiac repair procedures are surgical interventions aimed at correcting congenital heart defects directly within the heart. These defects may involve structural issues such as holes between heart chambers or abnormal valves. The surgery typically involves opening the heart, repairing or reconstructing these structures, and then closing it up again. The goal is to restore normal blood flow and improve heart function, which can alleviate symptoms and enhance the patient's quality of life. Such procedures are often performed on infants or children but can also be applicable to adults with congenital heart conditions.
