Pediatric Cardiology

Our department specializes in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of heart diseases in children. Our services include daily outpatient examinations and treatments, as well as inpatient care in the pediatric ward for cases requiring hospitalization. Patients scheduled for heart catheterization are admitted to the ward either the day before or the morning of the procedure for monitoring, and the catheterization/angiography is performed in our Yüreğir Angiography Laboratory. Patients requiring surgery are discussed in the pediatric cardiology-cardiovascular surgery council and surgeries are conducted in our centers in Adana, Ankara, or Istanbul depending on the type of defect.
