The Service is highly integrated with Pediatric Cardiology, Adult Congenital Cardiology, the Cardiac Electrophysiology Service and the Heart Failure Service. The success rate for the Service is excellent, and over the years, an effort has been made to render highly personalized, one-on-one care for patients with congenital heart disease.

The Cardiac Catherization Laboratory is a state-of-the-art facility and the Cardiac Ultrasound Laboratory is among the most advanced non-invasive testing facilities in the world. Current research includes new modalities of imaging congenital heart disease, development of new devices to correct cardiac defects by minimally invasive transcatheter techniques and the genetic mapping of congenital heart disease.

Family-Centered Care

At MassGeneral Hospital for Children, we know that the time of your child’s diagnosis and treatment is a very stressful one and we strive to provide an open, welcoming environment. We believe that no one knows a child as well as the parent does: parents, along with primary care providers, become our partners in a child's care and have an active voice in all treatment plans.
