What is Neonatal Cardiac Surgery?
Congenital heart disease is a common birth defect which can affect a lot of newborns every year. Most of these conditions may require correction through surgery within the first weeks of their life. Neonatal cardiac surgery repairs heart defects in newborns, which covers minimally invasive procedures using a catheter or complex open-heart surgery. They can be performed on babies weighing as little as a few hundred grams.
The neonatal cardiac surgery Mahadevapura team at KIMS is experienced in managing the full spectrum of congenital cardiac conditions.
- Transposition of the Great Arteries with intact ventricular septum and with ventricular septal defect
- Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection
- Coarctation of the Aorta
- Ventricular Septal Defect
- Patent Ductus Arteriosus
- Tetralogy of Fallot
- Double Outlet Right Ventricle with single ventricle morphology
- Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and other single ventricle anomalies
PDA device closure and VSD device closure are minimally invasive procedures to complete open-heart repair in critically ill newborns.
Neonatal ECMO Services in Bengaluru
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-support technology which is used for newborns if their heart or lungs cannot function properly on their own. It does the work of the heart and lungs temporarily so that the body can rest and recover. It also acts as a bridge to surgical treatment if required.
KIMS Cuddles at KIMS hospitals, Mahadevapura offers dedicated neonatal ECMO services Bengaluru for critically ill newborns requiring this advanced support. ECMO may be required in the following conditions.
- Severe respiratory failure not responding to conventional ventilation, including meconium aspiration syndrome and congenital diaphragmatic hernia
- Cardiac failure after a complex neonatal cardiac surgery
- Pulmonary hypertension of the newborn who is unresponsive to other treatments
- Septic shock with refractory cardiac dysfunction
Our ECMO programme has a dedicated team of neonatologists, paediatric cardiac surgeons, cardiac intensivists, and trained perfusionists. Their services are available round the clock. The decision to initiate ECMO is made by the multidisciplinary team and guided by rigorous clinical criteria to bring the best possible outcomes for each baby.
