Pediatric Heart Surgery: Choosing the Right Center for Your Child’s Procedure
When your child needs open heart surgery or another procedure for a congenital heart defect (CHD) or other cardiac condition, you want to find the best place for their care. At Children’s Hospital Colorado, our Heart Institute is leading the way in personalized care for patients with childhood heart conditions and the development of new treatments that will change the lives of future babies born with heart disease. That’s because we see more, treat more and heal more kids than anyone else in the region and use the most advanced treatment available to deliver better outcomes.
Not only are we leading the way in groundbreaking treatments, but we’re one of a small group of centers in the country equipped to care for CHD patients for a lifetime. Our Heart Institute includes experts in fetal cardiology, pediatric cardiology and adult congenital heart disease, and we offer advanced capabilities from 4D cardiac imaging and cardiac catheterization to 3D printed heart models and minimally invasive heart surgery.
In this video, James Jaggers, MD, a congenital and pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon, and Gareth Morgan, MD, a congenital and pediatric interventional cardiologist, discuss the preparation and consultation that takes place before every case at the Heart Institute. Here, our team of highly specialized congenital and pediatric heart surgeons, cardiologists, nurses and anesthesiologists are ready to take on the most common to the most complex heart problems. Learn how — no matter the diagnosis — we work as a team, considering every possible option before determining the best treatment for your child.
Our Heart Institute is among the most technologically advanced pediatric cardiology centers in the nation, including programs in pediatric cardiac surgery, cardiac catheterization, electrophysiology, heart transplant, adult congenital heart disease and more. Our record of innovation puts us at the forefront of creating more effective and less invasive procedures.
