Because Nationwide Children's offered that student something he couldn't find anywhere else. A plan to fix his heart and avoid multiple open heart surgeries over the span of his life. Meet 20-year-old Mark Morris. Mark was born with Tetralogy of Fallot with Pulmonary Atresia. Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital heart defect that is made up of 4 problems and results in not enough blood flow to the lungs: • Ventricular septal defect (VSD): A hole between the 2 bottom pumping chambers of the heart (ventricles) • Pulmonary stenosis: Narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the lungs • Overriding of the aorta: The aorta (major artery that supplies oxygen blood to the body) normally comes off of the left ventricle. In TOF, it sits over both the ventricles and "straddles" the VSD. • Right ventricular hypertrophy: Increased thickness of the walls of the right pumping chamber (ventricle). Adolescents and adults with congenital heart disease have different considerations than children. The Adolescent and Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) Program at Nationwide Children's was created to meet the medical and surgical needs of this unique and complex population, and is comprised of a dedicated team of medical experts who have devoted their careers to the care of these patients. Join Mark and his family for three life-changing days at Nationwide Children's Hospital. Be there as Mark undergoes testing and treatment, and makes decisions with the help of our ACHD team.
