RILEY HEART CENTER
The interventional cardiologists at Riley Children’s Health have expertise in using the latest invasive, catheter-based procedures to diagnose and treat congenital heart conditions. Our skilled specialists provide essential anatomic evidence during diagnostic procedures to direct cardiovascular surgical interventions. They also repair heart conditions such as patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect that allow both children and adults to avoid open heart surgery. INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY
Riley Children’s was one of the first children’s hospitals in the nation to routinely treat PDA in premature infants through cardiac catheterization. Since 2020, our team has performed an average of 25 closures each year in babies as small as 700 grams.
