Cardiovascular & Interventional Services
Pediatric Cardiovascular Surgery (Heart Center)
Surgical correction of congenital heart defects in newborns, infants, and children, delivered within the Heart Center by a dedicated pediatric cardiac team.
About this service
Children born with structural heart disease are treated within the Heart Center at Mersin University Hospital, where pediatric cardiovascular surgery is organized as a dedicated program alongside pediatric cardiology and neonatal intensive care. The team performs corrective and palliative operations for congenital heart defects, including septal defects, tetralogy of Fallot, and other complex malformations, in patients ranging from newborns to adolescents. Each operation is planned through joint case conferences with pediatric cardiologists, using echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, and advanced imaging to define the child's anatomy before surgery. Age-appropriate cardiopulmonary bypass techniques and a pediatric intensive care unit support even the smallest patients through recovery. Families traveling from abroad receive coordinated scheduling of evaluation, surgery, and follow-up to keep their stay as short and predictable as possible.
