To answer all these questions, we have a team of trained Congenital and Pediatric Cardiologists who can perform detailed Fetal Heart Scanning (Fetal Echocardiography). A good scan performed by a trained person between 16-20 weeks of pregnancy can identify 60-70% of the major cardiac malformations in the fetus. Fetal Echocardiography at this gestation, along with Anomaly scan and Serum biochemical tests done in our standard biochemical laboratory, can pick up almost 90% of the common Genetic abnormalities and Developmental malformations. It is very important that this Fetal heart scan is done by trained specialists.

We are also supported by Perinatal autopsy plus advanced genetic testing performed by the department of Medical Genetics which helps in accurate diagnosis and assistance in counseling / management of future pregnancies. Coming to children with CHD we manage simple cardiac lesions in Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory (without Open Heart Surgery). We have very good Catheterization Labs which are well equipped and staff specially trained in cardiac procedures. We have a team of very eminent Pediatric Cardiac Surgeons and Pediatric Cardiac Anaesthetists who deal with complex CHD in children including neonates. We have very good support from NICU and Pediatrics to manage children with CHD, both during preoperative and perioperative period.
