Vascular Ring Anomaly and Vascular Sling
Vascular sling is a rare but serious condition that happens when blood vessels are in an unusual location. This creates a “vascular ring” that can block a baby’s esophagus or trachea (windpipe). It’s a congenital heart defect, which means babies are born with it. At ѻƵ Children's, we offer leading-edge capabilities to detect heart problems early, including in babies still in the womb.
If your baby has vascular ring anomaly, our board-certified, fellowship-trained pediatric cardiologists and heart surgeons are here to answer your questionsand provide the latest treatment options — including advanced surgical repair techniques for newborns. Our pediatric heart care teams offer patient families research-backed care, delivered with compassion.
