Rusty was born with two congenital heart defects and has received care at Texas Children’s Hospital for most of his life. He currently receives care from the Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) Program, which enables patients with congenital heart disease to receive seamless continuation of care from birth to adulthood. As pediatric patients with congenital heart defects transition into adulthood, our multidisciplinary team of experienced congenital heart disease specialists advises patients on health and lifestyle choices for their adult needs, including physical challenges, exercise options and family planning.
