Paediatric Interventional Cardiology
Advanced interventional care for congenital heart disease in infants and children.
About Paediatric Interventions
Interventional cardiology in children uses specialised catheters and devices adapted to small patients to treat defects safely.
Symptoms
Symptoms vary by lesion but often include breathlessness, failure to thrive and recurrent infections in infants.
Diagnosis
Detailed echo, catheter assessments, and 3D imaging help plan safe interventions even in tiny neonates.
Treatment Options
Neonatal PDA closures, valve dilations and device closures using microcatheters — specialised approaches in experienced centres.
Benefits
Tailored minimally invasive solutions for infants reduce surgical risk and speed recovery.
When to Contact a Doctor
If a newborn has difficulty feeding, bluish discoloration, or rapidly developing respiratory distress.
