FAQ
Pediatric surgery for congenital heart disease is a procedure that corrects structural problems in a child's heart. It can involve open-heart surgery, minimally invasive surgery, catheterization, or a heart transplant.
The success rate for heart surgery to close a hole in the heart is around 98% for children because of their smaller body size, faster healing abilities, and lower risk of complications associated with the procedure, leading to quicker recovery times and less postoperative pain. However, the survival rate depends on the severity of the hole and other factors.
