Interventional Cardiology

Interventional cardiology means treating hearts through a very small puncture in the skin. A doctor guides tiny medical tools into the heart to repair a problem. Compared to surgery, this approach lowers the risk of side effects and speeds up your child’s recovery.

Surgical Cardiac Care

When your little one needs surgical treatment, you want the best pediatric cardiac hospital. University Health’s pediatric congenital cardiothoracic surgeons are leaders in their fields. They work with a coordinator who guides your journey from admission to discharge—taking good care of you so you can focus on your child.
