    Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart, called the atria. This hole usually does not cause any symptoms or problems in a young child. Over a person’s lifetime, the extra blood crossing the hole goes to the lungs. This can damage the blood vessels of the lungs. Adults who still have a hole are at greater risk of strokes. If very small, an atrial septal defect may not require any treatment. Other defects may need cardiac catheterization or surgery to close or patch the hole.

    Atrioventricular canal (AV canal, endocardial cushion defect) is present at birth and includes: An atrial septal defect (ASD) low in the atrium (called a primum ASD) A ventricular septal defect (VSD) high in the ventricle A common atrioventricular valve (instead of two separate valves, the mitral and tricuspid valves) Atrioventricular canal defect occurs when the center of the heart does not form properly. The condition varies in severity. Some infants will only have mild symtoms while others may have difficulty growing and gaining weight.

    Congestive heart failure (CHF) is when the heart cannot pump enough oxygenated blood to meet the body's needs. There are many reasons why a child might have congestive heart failure, including diseases of the muscle and, commonly, a congenital heart defect that allows extra blood to go to the lungs.

    Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) Is a defect where both the aorta and pulmonary artery are attached to the right ventricle. There is no artery attached to the left ventricle. In a normal heart the pulmonary artery leaves the right ventricle and the aorta leave the left ventricle. When DORV occurs, a ventricular septal defect is always present. This lets the blood from the left ventricle get out the aorta to the body by crossing the hole into the right ventricle.

    Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, also known as extracorporeal life support, is a way to support the heart and/or lungs using a machine. The machine is very similar to the heart-lung bypass machine used for open heart surgery. ECMO is used after cardiac surgery to support the heart. When the heart is too weak or needs to recover from surgery, the machine takes on some of the work. ECMO does not cure the heart, but helps it recover or rest for a period of time. ECMO is only used after all other medical treatments have been tried.
