What are the Treatment Options for Neonatal Heart Conditions?
Treatment depends on the specific heart condition and its severity. Options include:
- Medications: To help the heart work more efficiently and manage symptoms. - Interventional Procedures: Such as balloon angioplasty or stent placement to open narrowed vessels. - Surgery: For more severe defects, corrective surgeries may be necessary, such as open-heart surgery to repair or replace heart structures. - Heart Transplant: In rare cases, a heart transplant may be needed for severe, uncorrectable defects.
