The Blalock-Taussig (BT) shunt mimics the role of the ductus arteriosus, meaning it allows blood to flow from a major artery through a connection to the pulmonary artery. Not only does this allow more blood to

Health Screening Examination abroad Screening examinations are tests performed to find disease before symptoms begin. The goal of screening is to detect disease at its earliest and most treatable stage.

In heart screening, individuals with no signs or symptoms of coronary artery disease — the most

Surgery for Coarctation of the Aorta abroad Coarctation of the aorta (C) is the tapering of the major artery (the aorta) that carries blood to the body. It is the sixth most common lesion in inborn cardiac ailment. The consequence of the condition is higher blood pressure upstream from the tapering and decreased blood pressure downstream from the narrowing. Over the years, various surgical techniques have been used in patients with coarctation of the aorta.  On occasion, nonsurgical, cat

Tricuspid Valve (TV) Repair abroad  The tricuspid valve is located between the heart’s right upper chamber (atrium) and lower chamber (ventricle). Its role is to make sure blood flows the correct way through the heart, from the right atrium down to the ventricle. The tricuspid valve has three leaflets, or flaps, that control blood flow and direction.  

Aortopulmonary Window Repair treatments abroad An aortopulmonary window (APW) is an uncommon congenital cardiac anomaly. It is a condition in which there is a hole connecting the main artery taking blood from the heart to the body (the aorta) and the one taking blood from the heart to the lungs. It is also called a Aortopulmonary septal defect. Early recognition is necessary for a positive surgical result before the onset of irreversible pulmonary vascular disease.  Where can I find a

Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty Abroad  Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty is a procedure used to dilate the mitral valve in the setting of rheumatic mitral valve stenosis. A catheter is inserted into the femoral vein, advanced to the right atrium and across the interatrial septum. Then, the mitral valve is crossed with a balloon that is inflated to relieve the fusion of the mitral valve commissures effectively, which acts to increase the mitral valve area and reduce the degree of mitral stenosis

Balloon Pulmonary Valvuloplasty Abroad  A valvuloplasty, also known as balloon valvuloplasty or balloon valvotomy, is a procedure to repair a heart valve that has a narrowed opening. In this valve condition, the valve flaps (leaflets) may become thick or stiff, and they may fuse together (stenosis). This causes the valve opening to be narrowed and results in reduced blood flow through the valve. A valvuloplasty may improve blood flow through the valve and improve your symptoms. In a valv

Hypertension Treatment abroad  High blood pressure is a common condition in which the long-term force of the blood against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause health problems, such as heart disease. Blood pressure is determined both by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure.  

Pulmonary Artery Banding (PAB) abroad  Pulmonary Artery Banding (PAB) was introduced by Muller and Danimann in 1951 as a surgical technique to reduce excessive pulmonary blood flow in infants suffering from congenital heart defects. PAB is a palliative operation as it does not correct the problems, but attempts to improve abnormal heart function, relieve symptoms and reduce high pressure in the lungs. The use of PAB has decreased over the years due to advancements in definitive surgic

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Treatment Abroad  Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO), also referred to as Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is a treatment strategy to reduce the risk of left atrial appendage blood clots from entering the bloodstream and causing a stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF).

A lingual frenectomy is where an orthodontist or oral surgeon cuts the frenectomy awa

Sinus Lift treatments abroad A sinus lift is required when teeth have been removed and dental implants are needed. When surrounding bone of the upper jaw is insufficient to hold the implants, sinus lift surgery adds bone to the area in order to reinforce it.

Much like the foundations of a house, dental implants need a strong and sturdy base to maintain stability. If the foundation is not in place

Tooth Extraction treatments abroad There are various reasons why tooth extraction may be needed. The most frequent dental problems that result in tooth extraction include tooth decay, damage, tooth infection, gum disease, and an overcrowded mouth.

Tooth decay is caused by various factors, most notably diet, smoking habits, gene traits, impact trauma, and periodontal disease. If the level of tooth decay

Impacted Tooth Extraction treatments abroad As a child, we make the transition from our primary teeth (also known as our milk teeth, or baby teeth) to our permanent or adult teeth. For this transformation to happen, the teeth must pass through, or emerge from, the gum. If this fails to happen, teeth can become lodged in the gum or dental arch, becoming impacted. The most common cause of tooth impaction is not enough space in the dental arch or jawline for teeth to erupt as normal. This result
