About Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
Paediatric cardiac surgery repairs heart defects in babies and children. Many defects are corrected completely, and children go on to live active lives.
Early diagnosis, ideally before birth or in the newborn period through screening, improves outcomes. Choose a centre with a paediatric cardiac ICU and an experienced team.
