Cardiac Surgeries
CHIME, in collaboration with the MIOT Centre for Children’s Cardiac Care (MCCC) in Chennai, India, has been a lifeline for children with congenital and rheumatic heart diseases. Over the past 17 years, this partnership has successfully facilitated more than 1,300 cardiac surgeries, offering critical care to many children from lower economic families who are unable to afford necessary medical treatment.

- Complex Cardiac Defect Correction: Addressing intricate congenital anomalies such as pulmonary atresia and congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries.
- Valve Repairs: Performing delicate procedures to repair heart valves in young patients.
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: Utilizing techniques like mini-sternotomy incisions and thoracotomies to reduce recovery times and scarring.
- Interventional Pediatric Cardiology: Offering keyhole therapies, including device closure of septal defects, stenting of great vessels, and balloon dilation of valves.
