The task of the department is to provide advisory, diagnostic and surgical care to patients with congenital pathology of the heart and large vessels, as well as with cardiac arrhythmias.


Department staff

Every year, the department’s staff performs about 500 heart surgeries of varying degrees of complexity for children from the newborn period to 18 years old. The staff of the department has published about 100 publications on the problem of congenital heart defects. There are 4 copyright certificates for the invention for the surgical treatment of congenital heart defects. The department’s doctors have completed internships in specialized clinics in Germany, Poland and Russia, and regularly attend international congresses and conferences on cardiac surgery and cardiology.

The range of services of the department

Thanks to the long-term and successful work of the team, the clinic has accumulated unique experience in the surgical treatment of a full range of congenital heart defects, including:

  • emergency surgery of newborn children with critical congenital heart defects:

    arterial switching surgery for transposition of major vessels, plastic surgery of critical aortic coarctation, plastic surgery of the aortic arch in hypoplasia and aortic arch interruption, correction of the common arterial trunk, aorto-pulmonary window, total abnormal drainage of the pulmonary veins, abnormal divergence of the coronary arteries from the pulmonary artery, imposition of aortopulmonary anastomosis in pulmonary artery atresia, Norwood surgery for hypoplasia of the left heart, atrioseptectomy for tricuspid valve atresia, etc.

  • staged hemodynamic correction of congenital heart defects:

    bidirectional cavapulmonary anastomosis surgery (Glenn or hemi-Fontaine surgery) and Fontaine surgery for hypoplasia syndrome of the left or right parts of the heart, as well as other forms of the single ventricle of the heart

  • correction of septal congenital heart

    defects: plastic surgery of interventricular septal defects (including multiple LVD), banding of the pulmonary artery, correction of double divergence of the main vessels from the right ventricle, plastic surgery of atrial septal defects (isolated, as well as in combination with abnormal drainage of the pulmonary veins)
