Paediatric Cardiac Surgery

Paediatric Cardiac Surgery deals with heart conditions in babies (including unborn babies), children and adolescents. Structural, functional, and rhythm-related problems of the heart are dealt with a high degree of success.

Some of the procedures performed by our Paediatric Cardiac Surgeons include:

• Atrial Septal Defect -A defect between the heart’s two upper chambers called the atria
• Ventricular Septal Defect -A defect between the heart’s two lower chambers called the ventricles.
• Coarctation of Aorta – a birth defect that results in the narrowing of part of the aorta (the major artery leading out of the heart).
• Patent Ductus Arteriosus – an abnormal circulation of blood between two of the major arteries of the heart – the aorta and the pulmonary artery.
• Tetralogy of Fallot – a common cause of “blue babies”.
