What is pediatric cardiac surgery?

Pediatric cardiac surgery is a specialized field of surgery that focuses on the treatment of heart conditions in children. These conditions can be congenital (present at birth) or acquired (developed after birth). Pediatric cardiac surgeons perform operations to correct heart defects, improve heart function, and prevent complications that could affect a child's health and development. Surgery may include open-heart procedures, minimally invasive surgery, or catheter-based interventions

What are the risks of pediatric heart surgery?

Like any major surgery, pediatric heart surgery carries some risks. The risks depend on the type of surgery and the child’s overall health but may include infection, bleeding, arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), or complications from anesthesia. Our surgeons, cardiologists, and support staff work together to carefully monitor your child before, during, and after the surgery to ensure the highest level of safety.

What is the recovery time after pediatric heart surgery?

The recovery time after pediatric heart surgery varies depending on the type of surgery and the individual child's condition. In general:

  • For minimally invasive surgeries, the recovery time can be shorter, with children typically returning to normal activities within 4–6 weeks.

  • For more complex surgeries, such as open-heart procedures, recovery can take longer—around 6–8 weeks, with some children requiring a few months for full recovery. Our pediatric cardiac team will provide a detailed recovery plan tailored to your child’s needs and will offer continuous support during the healing process.

How do I prepare my child for pediatric heart surgery?

Preparing your child for heart surgery involves both physical and emotional preparation. Here are some general steps we take to ensure the process is as smooth as possible:

  • Preoperative Consultation: Our team will meet with you and your child to discuss the surgery, address any questions, and provide instructions on fasting, medications, and other preparations.

  • Pre-surgery Tests: Your child may need a series of tests, such as blood work, echocardiograms, or ECGs, to assess their heart health and ensure they are ready for surgery.

  • Emotional Support: We understand that surgery can be a stressful experience for children and their families. Our pediatric care team will offer emotional support to both your child and family members, helping them feel comfortable and confident about the procedure.

  • Comforting Environment: Aster MIMS Calicut offers a child-friendly, supportive environment to ease anxiety and ensure your child feels safe and cared for.
