Pediatric Cardiology

Pediatric cardiology specialists at Policlinico San Donato provide comprehensive care for children with congenital heart diseases, performing over 600 interventional procedures annually for patients from infancy to adulthood. This expertise positions Policlinico San Donato as the leading center in Italy for treating congenital heart diseases, backed by over 20 years of experience and excellence in clinical research.

Procedures include the closure of atrial and ventricular septal defects, stent placements for vascular obstructions, and minimally invasive treatments for aortic coarctations, valve repair and replacements.

To enhance patient outcomes, pediatric cardiologists collaborate closely with a team of bioengineers, utilizing advanced simulations and 3D modeling. This integration of engineering and medical expertise has led to groundbreaking procedures, including the first pediatric cardiac surgery performed with augmented reality, allowing for precise pre-surgical planning and execution.
