Was your child born with an interrupted aortic arch
?
You must be wondering why and how your child was born with interrupted aortic arch. Do you know what
an SSRI is ? It stands for selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitors. These are groups of drugs that are used as anti-depressants
like Zoloft®, Paxil®, Effexor®, Lexapro®, and the likes. If you took any anti-depressant whilst you were pregnant,
and your child has an interrupted aortic arch (IAA) then these medications could very well be to
blame. You may be entitled to compensation if you fill in the form below.
When a child is born with IAA their aortas aren't fully developed.
The aorta carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. What you get is a gap between the ascending and
decending thorasic aorta.
Any infant born with an interrupted aortic arch requires urgent
surgical intervention otherwise they could die. Whilst awaiting surgery they are given prostaglandin, whose
function is to keep the ductus arteriosus open. This keeps the blood flowing around the body.
If the infant doesn't get this immediate care the chance of him/her dying
within 4 days is 90%.
Don't forget that you may be entitled to compensation for your
child's condition. Get your Zoloft lawsuit filed today

Another congenital heart defect is transposition of the Great
Arteries.
