Heart Disease which can be treated without Open Heart Surgery

Hi I'm doctor I'm a general

pediatrician and consultant pediatric

interventional cardiologist at Joe's

Center I have done my MD pediatrics and

fellowship in pediatric cardiology and

post that I've been practicing

interventional pediatric cardiology and

general pediatrics there are different

kinds of holes which will be present in

the heart so maybe in the upper chambers

of the heart where we say an atrial

septal defect it can be closed by device

closure in the lower chambers of the

heart if there is a hole which is called

a ventricular septal defect that can

also be caused by a device procedure and

if there is enough blockage in the

valves that can be opened up by doing

the balloon valve procedures it could be

either in the IOT valve side or in the

film eval side I think there is any

cooperation that is the vessel which is

supplying to the whole body so if that

is narrow that can also be dilated

without having to go in for an

open-heart procedure and where we can

even put pacemakers into the baby if

there is any heart blocks complete had

walk in the baby or sometimes as a

temporary situation where the heart rate

is quite low and it needs only for a

brief period we put in a temporary

pacemaker and even if there is a

narrowing in the vessel which is going

into the lung and if the child is a

adequate age so we can put in a stent

also and then do a repeat balloon

dilatation or repeat dilatations of the

stent thing so all this can still be

performed without having to open the

heart so these are all the various

procedures so that is for standing of

the pulmonary arteries and Korus tenting

of the cooperation of iota and currently

we have been doing more of percutaneous

valve implantation also that is already

there is a valve I which has been not

functioning well so that can even be

replaced by doing a non open-heart

surgery so these are all even possible

to be done in a child so case where in

the previously a heart operation has

been done and then there is some

residual hole in the child so that

can also be closed if there is any

residual blockage post-surgery so even

that can be taken care of without having

to open the heart so these are all the

various procedures which can be done by

pinhole procedures
