Specialty Areas and Treatments

Dr Viresh Mahajan provides advanced cardiac interventions, focusing on precise diagnostics and life-saving catheter-based treatments for children.

Neonatal and Interventional Cardiology

Dr Mahajan offers rapid emergency interventions for newborns to treat critical conditions such as severe congenital heart defects, narrowed heart valves, and narrowed aortas.

• Balloon Valvuloplasty: Use of a specialised balloon catheter to safely widen stiff or narrowed heart valves in neonates and infants without open-heart surgery.
• Coarctation Stenting: Emergency catheter-based placement of a stent to safely open and expand a severely narrowed aorta, instantly restoring normal blood flow.

Congenital Heart Defect Closures

Dr Mahajan provides advanced, non-surgical catheter treatments to manage conditions such as Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), and Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA).

• Device Closure for ASD and VSD: Minimally invasive catheter procedure used to precisely deploy a small permanent device to seal holes between the heart's chambers.
• PDA Stenting and Closure: Expert catheter interventions to safely close or stent open the ductus arteriosus, depending on the infant's specific cardiac requirements.

Fetal Cardiology and Imaging

Dr Mahajan expertly diagnoses and manages heart conditions before birth, treating suspected fetal heart abnormalities and complex congenital heart diseases during pregnancy.

• Fetal Echocardiography: Highly advanced prenatal ultrasound imaging used to accurately detect and plan treatments for structural heart defects while the baby is still in the womb.
• Advanced Cardiac Imaging and Simulation: Detailed structural heart imaging to precisely plan complex corrective surgeries and catheter interventions for children.

Hybrid Paediatric Cardiac Procedures

Dr Mahajan manages highly complex structural anomalies, treating patients suffering from severe congenital heart defects that require combined surgical and catheter approaches.

• Hybrid Cardiac Surgery: Collaborative procedures performed alongside cardiac surgeons, combining minimally invasive catheter techniques with surgery to treat complex heart defects safely.
• Post-Operative Cardiac Care: Continuous, intensive medical management and monitoring following major open-heart surgeries to ensure safe and stable recovery.
