Aster Hospital, Bangalore, is a leading healthcare institution providing world-class medical facilities and services to needy patients. The hospital has a dedicated pediatric interventional cardiology team specializing in using minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat heart diseases in children.
For children with congenital heart defects, Aster Hospital's interventional cardiology team offers minimally invasive treatment options through cardiac catheterization, resulting in shorter recovery times. The team performs these procedures in an advanced cardiac catheterization lab equipped with state-of-the- art imaging technology to guide the catheter through the blood vessels.
During cardiac catheterization, an interventional cardiologist navigates a catheter through the blood vessels, typically through a small cut in the groin area, neck, or wrist, using imaging to guide the catheter. This procedure enables cardiologists to measure blood pressure, assess oxygen saturation levels and blood flow, analyze heart's structure, and treat various congenital heart conditions.
Children preparing for or undergoing a heart or lung transplant may need a cardiac catheterization to examine their hearts, and the highly skilled interventional cardiology team at Aster Hospital, Bangalore, is equipped to provide the necessary care and treatment for such cases.

Advanced Technology & Facilities
When it comes to children, their smaller hearts and blood vessels mean that they need specialized sedation and monitoring during medical procedures. It is due to their size, age, and ability to cooperate. Aster's interventional cardiology team consists of specifically trained cardiologists, nurses, and anesthesiologists to cater to the unique needs of children, including those born prematurely or with low birth weights.
Aster's interventional cardiology team provides a range of treatments for diverse heart conditions, which include but are not limited to:
- Aortic valve stenosis
- Atrial septal defect
- Narrowed or leaky conduits
- Patent ductus arteriosus
- Pulmonary artery and valve stenosis
- Surgical baffle leaks
- Systemic and pulmonary vein stenosis
- Ventricular septal defect
At Aster, our skilled interventional cardiologists have expertise in conducting cardiac
catheterization procedures for children. These include the following:
- Atrial septoplasty is a surgical procedure that may be considered for patients with severe pulmonary hypertension and receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment.
- Balloon dilation or stent implantation is used to treat coarctation of the aorta.
- Balloon valvuloplasty of all cardiac valves.
- Percutaneous patent arterial duct closure.
- Reopening entirely blocked blood vessels or valves that are closed off using radiofrequency perforation.
- Some examples of hybrid therapies for small infants include perventricular closure of muscular VSDs, hybrid palliation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), and intraoperative stent placement.
- A balloon atrial septostomy procedure is performed to enhance the mixing of oxygen within the heart.
- The Impella procedure involves the placement of Impella ventricular support systems to aid in cases of left and right ventricular dysfunction.
- Transcatheter valve implantation.
- Treatment of narrowed arteries and veins with stent implantation or balloon angioplasty. This procedure is also effective for opening the pulmonary arteries, aorta, and other vascular structures.
- We perform device closures for atrial and ventricular septal defects, patent foramen ovale (PFO), and Fontan fenestrations.
Your child can benefit from the most advanced cardiac techniques and technologies at Aster Hospitals. We offer various support services to help you effectively manage your care. Our team has played a vital role in developing groundbreaking interventional heart therapies for individuals with congenital heart disease. Furthermore, we are currently evaluating favourable new treatments through clinical trials.
