Paediatric cardiac surgery

There are many types of heart conditions in children. Some are minor and go away with time, while others are more serious and need surgery. Common types include:

• Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
• Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
• Tetralogy of Fallot
• Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)
• Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA)
• Coarctation of the Aorta
• Heart valve defects
• Rheumatic heart disease

Heart problems in children can appear in many ways. Some symptoms may be seen right after birth, while others show up later. Common signs of heart disease in children include:

• Rapid breathing or breathlessness
• Poor weight gain or growth
• Tiring easily during feeding or activity
• Bluish colour of the skin or lips (cyanosis)
• Swelling in the legs, stomach, or around the eyes
• Irregular heartbeat
• Frequent lung infections

If your child has any of these symptoms, it is important to get them evaluated by a paediatric cardiac surgeon in Jaipur at CK Birla Hospital.

There are many causes behind Paediatric Heart Defects. Some of the most common causes are

• Genetic factors
• Certain infections during pregnancy
• Diabetes or obesity in the mother
• Exposure to harmful substances during pregnancy
• Chromosomal conditions like Down syndrome

Early detection plays a major role in treating these heart problems effectively.

At CK Birla Hospital, we use advanced diagnostic tools to find heart conditions in children. These include:

• Echocardiogram (ECHO): A safe ultrasound of the heart.
• Electrocardiogram (ECG): Checks the heart's electrical activity.
• Chest X-rays: Show the size and shape of the heart.
• Cardiac MRI or CT scan: Provides a clear picture of the heart's structure.
• Cardiac catheterisation: Used to measure pressure and oxygen levels in the heart.

Once we identify the actual problem, we create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your child health needs.

Our treatment may include:

• Medication
• Regular monitoring
• Minimally invasive procedures
• Paediatric open heart surgery
• Complex child open-heart surgery for major defects

We provide treatment based on your child’s current condition. Some common paediatric cardiac surgeries include

Open-heart surgery

• In paediatric open heart surgery, the chest is opened and the child is connected to a heart-lung machine. 
• It allows us to fix the defect directly.

Closed-heart surgery

• The surgery is done without opening the heart chambers.
• It is usually used for blood vessel-related issues.

Minimally invasive heart surgery

• Small cuts and special instruments are used in this procedure, allowing for quicker recovery and less pain.

Hybrid procedures

• This procedure is used in complex cases where surgery and catheter-based techniques are used together.

Because tiny hearts deserve the best care—and we provide it with expert hands, advanced technology, and a whole lot of compassion.
