What is the current cure rate for congenital heart disease in children?

Speaking of the cure rate of congenital heart disease in children, I believe that many parents of children with this disease would like to know this question, because after all, children are the apple of their parents' eyes. Even a headache or cough will affect their parents' hearts, let alone a disease like congenital heart disease. So today we will talk to you about the current cure rate of congenital heart disease in children.

Let's first look at the treatments for congenital heart disease:

1. Surgical treatment: The surgical method for congenital heart disease is mainly determined by comprehensive factors such as the type of heart malformation and the degree of pathological and physiological changes. The surgical methods can be divided into three categories: radical surgery, palliative surgery, and heart transplantation. Through these treatments, more than 75% of children can be cured.

2. Interventional treatment: Interventional treatment can be roughly divided into two categories: one is to use balloon dilation to relieve the stenosis of blood vessels and valves, such as aortic valve stenosis, pulmonary valve stenosis, aortic coarctation, etc.

The other type is to use special occluders made of various memory metal materials to block unnecessary defects, such as atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, etc. Due to the advancement of medical technology and the continuous research and improvement of materials and processes, interventional therapy has been further developed in clinical applications at home and abroad. It can not only avoid the risks and trauma of open-chest surgery, but also shorten hospital stay and recover quickly. It is a very effective treatment method. Interventional therapy has partially replaced but not completely replaced surgical open-chest surgery. This technology has strict indications. About 60% of children are cured through interventional therapy.

To sum up, I believe everyone knows the cure rate of congenital heart disease in children. We sincerely hope that every child can get the best treatment and every family should not give up hope for their child's treatment.
