About Paediatric Cardiac Surgery

Paediatric cardiac surgery is a highly specialized surgical field dedicated to correcting congenital and acquired heart defects in infants, children, and adolescents. Performed by a pediatric cardiac surgeon, this complex procedure involves repairing structural abnormalities of the heart, such as septal defects, valve disorders, or malformed blood vessels. The goal is to restore normal heart function, improve blood circulation, and ensure long-term health and development. Utilizing advanced techniques like cardiopulmonary bypass, these surgeries are tailored to the unique anatomy of a child's heart. Timely intervention is crucial for preventing complications and enabling a child to lead an active, healthy life.

As a follow-up patient for over...

As a follow-up patient for over five years, I’ve seen Dr. Coelho evolve but never lose his personal touch. He remembers small details about my life and always asks how school is going, it feels like visiting family, not just a doctor.
