Pediatric Cardiovascular Surgery

About this specialty

Pediatric cardiovascular surgery focuses on the surgical treatment of heart conditions in babies and children, especially the repair of congenital heart defects. Surgeons work closely with pediatric cardiologists, anaesthesiologists and intensive care teams at every stage. Many defects are diagnosed during pregnancy or shortly after birth, and timely surgical repair allows children to grow and develop.

Before surgery, the child's heart is evaluated in detail with echocardiography and other imaging, and the family is informed about the procedure, hospital stay and recovery. Families coming to Turkey are supported throughout the process, from the first consultation to regular check-ups after discharge.
