Area of Expertise

Transcatheter Interventions for Congenital Heart Disease

Children and adults with congenital and structural heart defects are managed with non-surgical transcatheter techniques, allowing closure of heart defects without open surgery:

• ASD, VSD, and PDA device closure
• RSOV closure and coronary AV fistula closure
• Post-MI VSD closure and large vascular stenting

Cardiac Catheterisation and Valvular Procedures

Patients requiring diagnostic and therapeutic cardiac catheterisation and valvular interventions are managed with precision catheter-based techniques:

• Diagnostic and therapeutic cardiac catheterisation
• Balloon valvotomy for stenotic valves
• Transcatheter management of complex structural heart defects

Echocardiography and Cardiac Imaging

Patients requiring detailed cardiac imaging for diagnosis, procedural guidance, and post-intervention assessment are evaluated with transthoracic, transesophageal, and fetal echocardiography:

• Transthoracic echocardiography
• Transesophageal echocardiography
• Fetal echocardiography for early detection of congenital heart conditions

Paediatric Cardiac Electrophysiology and Arrhythmia

Children with rhythm disorders and complex electrophysiological conditions are assessed and managed with catheter-based and device-based interventions:

• Radiofrequency ablation for paediatric arrhythmias
• Transhepatic permanent pacing in complex congenital heart disease
• Electrophysiological evaluation in children

Complex and Rare Congenital Heart Conditions

Patients with rare and complex structural cardiac anomalies are managed with individualised interventional and surgical planning in a multidisciplinary setting:

• Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations
• Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection
• Complex cyanotic heart disease management
