Congenital Heart Disease Intervention

Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) intervention in interventional cardiology refers to procedures that treat heart defects present at birth. These defects can affect how blood flows through the heart and body. Interventional cardiologists use specialized techniques, such as catheterization, to repair or improve heart function without major surgery. This may involve placing stents, closing holes in the heart, or widening narrowed blood vessels. These less invasive procedures often lead to shorter recovery times and less discomfort for patients, helping them lead healthier lives while addressing the unique challenges posed by their heart conditions.
