Duke’s congenital heart disease program includes a Duke surgical team dedicated to the adult with congenital heart disease.

Surgical approaches include the use of mini-thoracotomy and minimally invasive procedures.

The mini-thoracotomy approach may be used to close holes in the heart (atrial septal defects) or to repair or replace certain heart valves (mitral, tricuspid, or aortic).
