My sons echo was very good! It says there is a slight PFO though I am not sure what this is . Could you please tell me?

[Redmond111]

@Felchiiee I'm happy that your echo was good. A PFO stands for Patent Foramen Ovale, which is a normal structure in the upper chambers of the heart. This is basically a flap valve that normally closes at birth, but it can act as a useful popoff valve if you have a heart defect. Your child can do very well with a small PFO, so don't worry. Sincerely, Redmond Burke MD

@Felchiiee A PFO stands for "patent forame ovale", this is a normal opening between the left and right atrium. It allows blood to flow from the right atrium to the left atrium in fetal circulation (before the baby is born) because there's no air going to the baby's lungs, so there's no need for blood to go to the lungs. The PFO normally closes at birth, it's like a flap valve. In some babies it stays open for a while, and this doesn't usually cause any problems.

hi, all I lost my angel to tapvc at 3 months,, cause the was too small to even operate on at 1.7kgs,,I would like to know if anyone had their next pregnancy, and if the baby also had any heart conditions?I would love to try again but want to know the chances of the baby having tapvc again..

[Redmond111]

@izzimwm I'm very sorry for your loss. We can repair premature low birthweight babies with good results. We've operated on babies who weighed 375 grams, so a 1.7 kg baby is big in comparison. Your chances of having another baby with TAPVC are only slightly higher than a family with no history of TAPVC, so go ahead and try again. I will pray for you and your family. Sincerely, Redmond Burke MD

i have TAPVC and i've always wondered what it looks like. i've wondered for a long time i'm 19 now so thats a long time thanks for posting this

[LucentBirch]

I had this surgery done 19 years ago. Just curious, about how long does the surgery take? How long is the heart stopped?

[stimpie777]

Have you ever had a TAPVR? Could you post that?

[izzimwm]

@Redmond111 Thankyou so much for your comment dr and it does make me feel so much better knowing that there is a possibility to correct TAPVC even if the baby is on the smaller side. Thankyou and god bless you.
