Cardiovascular Surgery in Children

Cardiovascular surgery in children involves surgical procedures to treat heart and blood vessel conditions present at birth or arising during childhood. Common issues include congenital heart defects, where the heart doesn’t form properly, and problems with blood flow. Surgeons repair or reconstruct the heart’s structures to improve function and ensure proper blood circulation. These surgeries can be complex, often requiring specialized techniques and a multi-disciplinary team of doctors, nurses, and therapists. The goal is to enhance the child's health, quality of life, and, in many cases, to enable them to lead a normal, active lifestyle.
