Pediatric Cardiac Surgery

Neonatal & Paediatric Cardiac Surgeries

• Cardiac surgeries like arterial switch operation, BT shunt, PA banding are very challenging neonatal cardiac surgeries.
• Paediatric cardiac surgery likerepair of AV canal defect, truncusarteriosus, TAPVC, DORV etc. are also falls into challenging paediatric cardiac surgical cases
• Other paediatric cardiac surgeries are like repair of ASD, VSD, PDA, TOF, TAPVC, and COA; Glenn Shunt, Fontan Operations, Senning, Unifocalizationetc

Out of these: BT shunt, PA banding, coarctation repair surgeries can be done without opening of chest. For others, we need to open the chest (open heart surgery)
