At Duke, all of the current methods of treating adults with congenital heart disease are available.

We specialize in advanced methods, including the use of catheter-based devices. These devices can be used to close holes or connections in the heart or to open blocked heart valves or blood vessel obstructions without surgical intervention.

Problems with the heart electrical system can be addressed in a similar manner.

We also offer:

• Balloon valvuloplasty
• Pacemaker therapy
• Defibrillators
• Arrhythmia ablation

Some patients may benefit from treatment by medication alone, and Duke offers the latest medical therapies for conditions such as pulmonary hypertension or heart failure.
