Cardiac Conversations: Setting the standard for heterotaxy care | Boston Children’s Hospital

Heterotaxy is a rare condition in which the organs in the chest and thorax can be in the wrong position, formed abnormally, or have abnormal function. Many children with heterotaxy also have complex congenital heart defects, and treatment can be challenging. The experts in the Heterotaxy Program at Boston Children’s Hospital are committed to providing comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for children and families affected by this complex condition. In this webinar, we discuss: What is heterotaxy? How is the heart affected by heterotaxy? What are the unique and innovative approaches that the Heterotaxy Program takes to treat heterotaxy? How does the heterotaxy program provide comprehensive care?
