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.

- 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.
