Asian Heart Institute

Advanced Congenital and Structural Heart Defect Correction

Asian Heart Institute is one of Mumbai's most reliable pediatric cardiac surgery centers. With specially dedicated pediatric ICUs, global standards of surgeons, and a family-oriented attitude, we deliver successful and soft correction for small hearts.

Pediatric cardiac surgery is the repair or reconstruction of heart defects that occur at birth (congenital) or in early childhood. These operations are frequently lifesaving, establishing normal blood flow and enhancing long-term well-being.

Conditions We Treat With Pediatric Cardiac Surgery

Our surgeons address straightforward to highly complicated cases, employing sophisticated techniques accommodated to children's anatomy and needs.

Congenital and Structural Heart Conditions

Aortic Aneurysm – A bulging of the aorta wall that, if not treated, can rupture.
Aortic Dissection – A split in the inside layer of the aorta, a true medical emergency.
Aortic Valve Regurgitation – Leaking aortic valve, with backward flow of blood into the heart.
Aortic Valve Stenosis – Narrowing of the aortic valve, reducing blood flow to the body.
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) – A hole in the upper chambers of the heart where blood can mix.
Atrioventricular Canal Defect – Large central heart defect with valve and chamber involvement.
Cardiomyopathy – Illness of the heart muscle that impairs its pumping ability.
Chest Wall Deformities – Chest structural problems such as pectus excavatum that can impact heart and lung function.
Coarctation of the Aorta – A constricted aorta that limits blood supply to the body.

Congenital Heart Defects in Children

General group of structural defects at birth.

Cyanotic Heart Disease – Condition of heart defects that decrease blood oxygen, turning the skin blue.
Double-Outlet Right Ventricle – Both large arteries exit from the right ventricle, requiring repair.
Ebstein Anomaly – A deformed tricuspid valve that allows the blood to pump in the wrong direction.
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (Cardiac Complications) – A condition of the connective tissue which can involve heart vessels.
Eisenmenger Syndrome – Elevated lung pressure due to undiagnosed congenital cardiac defects.
Heart Arrhythmia – Irregular heartbeat that can lead to palpitations, dizziness, or fainting.
Heart Failure – The heart cannot supply enough blood to the body's requirements.
Heart Murmurs – Abnormal heart sounds due to turbulent blood flow, can be an indicator of a defect.
Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome – The left side of the heart is underdeveloped and needs staged surgery.
Kawasaki Disease – A condition that is rare and results in inflamed arteries that can harm the heart.
Mitral Valve Regurgitation – The mitral valve leaks, allowing the blood to flow backward.
Mitral Valve Stenosis – Narrowing of the mitral valve, blocking blood flow.
Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return – A few of the veins in the lungs attach improperly to the heart.
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) – An open fetal artery after birth, which overflows the lungs.
Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) – A tiny hole in the heart that will close after birth.
Pectus Excavatum – A sunken breastplate that can press against the heart or lungs.
Sinus Venosus Defect – An uncommon form of ASD close to where veins come in contact with the heart.
Subaortic Stenosis – Obstruction immediately below the aortic valve that limits flow.
Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) – Periods of abnormally rapid heart rate.
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) – Four associated defects that result in oxygen-poor blood to be circulated.
Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return (TAPVR) – Pulmonary veins drain into the improper location of the heart.
Tracheal Stenosis – Constriction of the windpipe that can occur with heart or chest disease.
Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) – The great vessels are reversed, altering circulation.
Tricuspid Atresia – An absent or closed tricuspid valve needing staged repair.
Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation – The tricuspid valve is leaky, disrupting blood flow to the lungs.
Truncus Arteriosus – One large vessel exits from the heart rather than two.
Vascular Rings – An abnormal blood vessel encircles the windpipe or esophagus.
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) – A hole in the lower chambers of the heart allowing blood to mix.
