Best Pediatric Heart
Surgeon In Jaipur

Surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD) has changed considerably during the last decade. Improved surgical results in patients with simple CHD and new interventional cardiology procedures have stimulated the surgeon to adopt minimally invasive techniques to reduce the patient’s surgical insult and obtain good functional and cosmetic results. As a consequence, new surgical techniques and specialized equipment for minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) procedures have been developed and refined in recent years.

What are the Types of Adult Congenital Heart Disease?

 
Despite the complexity of the patient population suffering from CHD and a well-defined requirement for subspecialty care, the average adult with CHD is followed by a generalist. Our Specialists At Shalby Hospitals are familiar with the unique clinical presentations of these patients and have the general understanding to facilitate the proper timing of treatments and surgical interventions.
 

The most common congenital heart disease that affects adults are:

  • Congenital Valve defects
  • Pulmonary Hypertension
  • Atrial and Ventricular Septal Defects
  • Patent Foramen Ovale
  • Anomalous Pulmonary Veins
  • Patent Ductus Arteriosus
  • Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA)
  • Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)
  • Ebstein Anomaly
  • Pulmonary Artery Stenosis
  • Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA)

Symptoms of Adult Congenital Heart Disease:

In adults, the symptoms of the congenital heart disease include the following:

  • Poor exercise tolerance
  • Shortness of breath
  • A bluish tint to the skin

During open-heart surgery, a surgical cut is made on the side of the chest or through the breastbone. The child may need three or four weeks at home to completely recover, but if it was a larger surgery, the recovery process can take as long as six to eight weeks.

It is normal to feel some pain after the surgery as some nerves may have been irritated or cut during the procedure. The pain will eventually subside, or sometimes, acetaminophen (Tylenol) may be prescribed to manage it.

The risks associated with paediatric heart surgery include:

  • Bleeding during or days after the surgery
  • Adverse reactions to medicines
  • Breathing issues
  • Infection
  • Pneumonia
  • Heart attack or stroke
  • Arrhythmias
  • Air embolism
  • Blood clots or thrombi

Generally, paediatric heart surgeons treat the following conditions.

Treating valve problems, abnormal blood vessels, and holes between the chamber of the heart

Correcting any heart injury

Correcting congenital and acquired heart defects

Performing heart and lung transplants
