Pediatric Heart Surgery
Advanced and compassionate cardiac care for infants, children and teenagers with congenital and acquired heart conditions.
Pediatric Heart Surgery: A Field Demanding Skill and Precision
Pediatric heart surgery is a highly specialized field because a child’s heart and blood vessels are considerably smaller and more delicate than those of an adult. Surgical treatment therefore requires careful planning, precise technique and a detailed understanding of pediatric cardiac anatomy.
Dr. Ashwani Bansal has experience in complex pediatric cardiac procedures and focuses on careful surgical planning, safety and individualized treatment for young patients.
Every child requires a treatment plan based on their individual heart condition, age and overall health.

Comprehensive Care for Congenital Heart Conditions
Many children requiring pediatric heart surgery are born with structural heart abnormalities that may need early evaluation and treatment.
Congenital Heart Defects
Treatment of structural abnormalities present from birth, including ASD (Atrial Septal Defect), VSD (Ventricular Septal Defect), TOF (Tetralogy of Fallot), Ebstein anomaly, TAPVC and other congenital conditions.
Valve Repair & Replacement
Valve procedures may be required to maintain healthy blood flow and cardiac function in growing children, including mitral and aortic valve repair.
Minimally Invasive Procedures
For suitable cases, minimal access techniques can help reduce surgical trauma and support recovery. Certain procedures can be performed without cutting the breastbone and without a front chest scar.
Treatment planning combines modern surgical techniques with close communication with the child’s family so that care is tailored to individual needs.
