Atrioventricular Canal disease:
This is one of the most common and most common congenital heart disease cases of Down syndrome children. It is a large hole in the wall between the ventricles and extends to the top of the wall separating the atria. With a defect in the two valves between the atria and ventricles, which may be one large valve extended horizontally between the atria and ventricles. The severity of puncture and fissure in valves may vary between children. Symptoms are characterized by difficulties in nutrition with excessive sweating, rapid breathing, poor structure and skin discoloration.
As a result of the puncture, the amount of blood reaching the lungs is high and when the blood flow is excessive for several months may lead to high blood pressure in the lungs and this situation is serious and may affect the success of any surgery in the future. It is therefore important to follow up with your doctor and not to be lenient.
Medications may be given to help the heart muscle and corrective operation may be performed to close the hole and fix the valves. The surgeon may suggest delaying the corrective operation and performing a temporary operation to narrow the pulmonary artery by means of a ligament to reduce the amount of blood reaching the lungs to prevent temporary pulmonary hypertension until the baby's healthy conditions are improved and the corrective operation is carried out.
