Guest: Christopher Petit, MD

Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare and challenging heart condition, which narrows blood vessels around the lungs and typically impacts newborn children. Historically, the rates of survival have been low, but with Dr. Petit leading the development of innovative techniques and treatments, the trajectory of patients’ lives could positively change. Join health and science journalist Catherine Price and Dr. Christopher Petit, Co-Director of Children’s Heart Center at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanely Children’s Hospital and Division Chief of Pediatric Cardiology at Columbia University, to discuss breakthroughs and treatments that are making a big impact on pediatric survival rates.
