Does Your Child Need Pediatric Pulmonary Valve Replacement?
Heart valves control the flow of blood through the heart. If your child has valve damage, their heart has to work harder to pump blood through the body. You may notice some of these symptoms in your child:
- Tiring easily
- Shortness of breath with activity
- Irregular heartbeat
- Dizziness
If your child needs a pulmonary valve replacement, our pediatric heart surgeons can partner with you to develop the care plan that works best for you and your child.
