TGA is a heart problem that involves the two main blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. These are called the "great arteries."

TOF is a serious heart defect, but it can be repaired with surgery. The surgery may be done when your child is 3 to 6 months old. Or it may be done when your child is 1 to 2 years old.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by bacteria (germs) that can spread from person to person. It's carried through the air in tiny droplets. Most often, TB infects the lungs, but it also can harm other parts of the body. When not treated properly, TB can be fatal. There are two types of TB: inactive and active. Most children who have TB have the inactive form.

Acute bronchitis occurs when the bronchial tubes (airways in the lungs) become infected or inflamed. This causes shortness of breath and coughing or wheezing.

Sinusitis is a sinus infection. It can come on suddenly, often after a cold or the flu. It can also linger and become chronic sinusitis.

Colds and flu differ in a few key ways. Knowing more about these infections may make it easier to prevent them. And if your child does get sick, you can help keep symptoms from becoming worse.

Heart failure (CHF) is a condition in which the heart does not pump as well as it should. When this happens, fluid can build up in the lungs or body tissues (congestion). HF can cause lung problems, organ failure, and other serious problems in the body. Your child's healthcare provider will evaluate your child's heart and discuss treatment options with you.

An AV canal defect is a large hole in the center of the heart. This heart defect can usually be treated with surgery.

A ventricular septal defect is a hole between the 2 lower heart chambers (ventricles). This is a heart defect a person is born with (congenital). It can lead to congestive heart failure.

ASD repair can be done with either cardiac catheterization or with open heart surgery. Your child's cardiologist or surgeon will discuss the best treatment for your child with you.
