Pediatrics and Congenital Heart Surgery In India At Affordable Low Cost
Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery
Transposition of the great arteries. In this condition, the anatomical positions of the pulmonary artery and aorta are switched, so that the aorta arises from the right ventricle, and the pulmonary artery arises from the left ventricle. This causes oxygen-poor blood to be circulated to the body instead of oxygen-rich blood, a life-threatening medical emergency requiring immediate treatment. Our world-renowned surgeons have pioneered the innovative arterial switch procedure which re-establishes normal anatomy and function while seeking to avoid the complications that have been associated with other surgical approaches...
Infants
Tetralogy of Fallot, the most common cyanotic defect (the heart delivers less oxygen to the body than normal). This complex congenital condition consists of four developmental defects that require surgical correction early in childhood'
Ventricular septal defect, an opening in the wall that separates the two ventricles of the heart, causing mixing of oxygen-poor blood with oxygen-rich blood'
Atrial septal defect, an opening in the wall between the right and left atria that results in abnormal blood flow through the heart. Left untreated, this condition can cause enlargement of the right side of the heart, arrhythmias and, in some cases, pulmonary hypertension'
Children
Single ventricle, a collective term that describes defects in which oxygen-rich and poor blood is mixed in a single ventricle. Our pediatric cardiac surgeons have expertise in the Fontan procedure, which directs oxygen-poor blood directly to the pulmonary artery and lungs. The single ventricle is reserved for collecting oxygen-rich blood from the lungs, then pumping it to the aorta and the rest of the body...
Adolescents
Valve repair, for damaged mitral, tricuspid, or aortic valves. Repair of failing Fontan surgery performed in childhood...
Surgical Procedures
A minimally invasive approach is the future of cardiovascular surgery. At We Care partner heart hospitals in India, we continue to pioneer techniques such as video cameras and robotics that enable the surgeon to see inside one's heart and repair it. Using small incisions that only allow room for sterilized instruments, the surgeon's hands and fingers rarely touch the patient's tissue...
Result
As a result, patients who undergo minimally invasive surgery have :
- Reduced incidence of infection
- Shorter hospital stays
- Less scarring and better cosmetic results
Congenital Heart Disease Surgery
Congenital heart defects are common, affecting nearly one percent of all newborns. Having a congenital heart defect increases the risk for developing complications such as heart failure, endocarditis, atrial fibrillation and heart valve problems. Surgical treatment of a congenital heart defect varies depending on the specific diagnosis...
Neonatal Surgery for Heart Conditions
One of our specialties is the repair of very complex neonatal heart conditions in premature (and low birth weight) babies. As a regional referral center, families from throughout the state come to California Pacific to receive care for a premature child or a fetus in which heart abnormalities are detected...
Echo-Assisted Open Heart Surgery
Echocardiography or ultrasonography of the heart is routinely performed during all open heart procedures, regardless of size. Once the child or adult is fully under anesthesia, a probe is placed within the esophagus allowing for excellent views of the intra-cardiac structures. Occasionally when a neonate is very small, weighs less than 2.5kg, or when there is a history of esophageal pathology, an epicardial study is perfomed by placing a small probe directly on the heart...
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
ECMO is the use of an artificial lung (membrane) located outside the body (extracorporeal), that puts oxygen into the blood and then carries this blood to the body tissues (oxygenation). As the heart improves, the amount of blood flow through the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuit can be decreased...
Extracardiac Fontan
Extracardiac Fontan is performed for children or adults with single ventricle physiology. The Fontan procedure connects the right atrium to the pulmonary artery, thus separating the systemic and pulmonary venous circulations...
Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery is typically performed through either a 'keyhole' or 'port-access' approach. A keyhole approach involves one midline incision (hemi-median sternotomy) across the lower two-thirds of the sternum. A port-access approach involves multiple 1-cm incisions which allow for insertion of either robotically controlled instrumentation (via the daVinci or Aesop robotic system) or handheld thorascopic instruments...
