Expertise for Your Child or Young Adult

Nemours Children’s highly skilled heart and vascular specialists treat coronary anomalies in kids from birth through young adulthood. We’re involved in national organizations that set the standard of coronary anomaly care for kids everywhere.

Coronary anomalies can be hard to diagnose in children, so it’s important to get care from an experienced team. Our team is part of renowned, award-winning heart centers in Delaware and Florida. We offer advanced heart imaging with 3D technologies, the full range of exercise stress tests, and medical and surgical expertise.

Coronary anomalies happen when the coronary arteries, or blood vessels that come off the aorta to supply blood to the heart muscle, don’t form the way they should. The aorta is the largest artery that carries blood from the heart to the body. The coronary arteries can be an unusual shape or size, or they can start, run, or connect in the wrong way. 

Some children born with a coronary anomaly can have narrowing of the coronary artery, which leads to exercise-related symptoms like chest pain. For others it can be acquired or result from conditions like Kawasaki disease or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). Genetic disorders like Marfan syndrome, Williams syndrome and others can cause it, too.
