Pediatric cardiology addresses the heart conditions of unborn or newborn babies, children and teenagers. Interventional cardiology uses catheter based treatment for heart diseases. It is very much beneficial in reducing pain, scars and complexity of the treatment.

Common pediatric heart conditions

• Atrial Septal Defect (ASD): The wall between right and left atria is called atrial septum. In ASD a defect is noticed between the upper two chambers of heart. 
• Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD): Here a defect is noticed in between the walls of right and left ventricle.
• Tetralogy of Fallot treatment (TOF): TOF is the combination of the following 4 abnormalities.

                 1. Obstruction of blood flow into lungs
                 2. Large VSD
                 3. Overridden aorta

                 4.Thickening of right pump walls. 

• Transposition of Great Arteries (TGA): Great arteries are the two tubes that are coming out of heart. Transposition of Great Arteries refers to the exchange of position of tubes.             

Interventional Procedures

1. Angioplasty: Here a catheter is inserted into the blood vessel through an incision in wrist or leg. When the catheter reaches the target, it gets inflated and pushes plaque to the walls of artery. This is used to open arteries that have been blocked by atherosclerosis. Angioplasty is also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
2. Valvuloplasty: This procedure is used to repair narrow heart valves.
3. Congenital heart defect correction: Percutaneous approaches are used to correct ASD and VSD.
4. Percutaneous valve repair: Interventional cardiologists uses catheters to guide devices through blood vessels to repair the damaged valves.
5. Coronary thrombectomy: This technique is used to remove blood clot from coronary arteries.
