CARE Hospitals offers some of the country’s top-notch paediatric cardiac surgery programmes. Heart surgery in children is usually a treatment option to resolve congenital heart defects or to treat heart diseases acquired following birth. This means that surgery can be used to treat structural anomalies and functional issues as well. Paediatric cardiology is a highly specialised discipline but is also highly evolved and has helped thousands of children in the country lead healthy and normal lives.
Cardiac surgery in children often requires a multi-disciplinary team of very experienced doctors including cardiac surgeons (specialising in child surgery), anaesthesiologists, critical care experts, etc. These surgeries are also followed by long-term treatment from paediatric cardiologists, pulmonologists, nutritionists, and counsellors. CARE Hospitals provide overall care for the health and safety of your children.
Conditions such as hole in the chambers of the heart, congenital or acquired valve problems, abnormal blood vessels and other heart defects, injury to the heart, tumour, or heart transplants can be treated surgically. The specific conditions that need surgery include -
In case of congenital heart defects, it is possible that the child may need multiple surgeries. These are usually performed with the child’s condition and recuperation speed in mind.
Performing a cardiac surgery on toddlers, children, and adolescents, is very different from operating on adults. In case of babies born with antenatal or congenital heart conditions, the expert surgeons at CARE Hospitals may choose to wait till the child’s heart is more developed and monitor the condition closely. In cases where the health and well-being or development of the child is threatened by the condition, surgery is performed on the infant.
Cardiac surgery in children poses additional challenges when it comes to ascertaining symptoms and combating fear of treatment/restlessness. This makes the expertise of the paediatric cardiologists and the cardiac surgeons utmost important.
