Pediatric Heart Surgery

Pediatric heart surgery is a medical procedure performed on children to correct congenital heart defects or other heart-related issues. These defects can be structural problems, such as holes in the heart or improper blood flow. Surgeons use specialized techniques to repair or replace heart components, ensuring that the heart can function properly and supply oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. The goal is to improve the child’s health, growth, and quality of life. Pediatric heart surgery is typically performed by specialized cardiac surgeons in hospitals equipped with advanced pediatric cardiac care facilities.
