Pamela

Transposition of the Great Vessels

Photo coming soon!

Hi my name is Pam I was born in 1967 with transposition of the great vessels. I have had two open heart surgeries as a child at Boston Children's at the age of six and fourteen. I have led a pretty healthy life with few restriction. I'm married and have two healthy sons:16 and 9 years old. This past June I had a ANOTHER cardiac cath, during which they had to place a stent in the conduit in the pulmonary vessel due to scar tissues build-up. I do have to take medication for my heart rhythm ,which has been a ongoing issue since my last surgery.
