Our Expertise
We offer patients comprehensive diagnostics, lifestyle counseling,
medical management, and interventional and surgical treatments for the
full spectrum of conditions related to congenital heart disease. We
work with our referring providers to ensure that their congenital
heart patients are managed in a sub-specialized and collaborative
environment that offers the best specialty treatment options available.
The Adult Congenital Heart Program at Stanford offers:
- Leading cardiothoracic surgeons who are experts in repairing
congenital heart lesions across all age groups.
- A highly
specialized program specifically designed for adolescent and adult
patients with congenital heart disease.
- Advanced treatment
options for pulmonary valve repair in patients with tetralogy of
Fallot, transcatheter ASD closure, and pulmonary valve replacement,
as well as alternative therapies such as ventricular assist devices
and heart/lung transplantation.
The Adult Congenital Heart Program at Stanford specializes in
treating adults who were born with congenital heart defects. Although
most patients will have undergone corrective surgery, some may not
have been previously treated, or may have recently discovered complex
residual conditions requiring therapy involving drugs, interventional
procedures, or surgery.
