Hospitals Performing Cardiovascular Surgery

Note: These are not the only hospitals in the world performing heart surgery on children. This list is mostly comprised of children's hospitals which specialize in pediatric cardiology. There are many hospitals performing pediatric cardiothoracic surgery, even though they are not specifically children's hospitals. If you'd like to add the hospital where your child had his/her surgery, Email us!

For a list of questions to ask the Doctors and/or Surgeons before heart surgery, please check out our Suggested Questions page.

Some comments from those who have been through it about how to deal with the medical issues surrounding a child with a CHD can be found on our 'Been There, Done That' - Miscellaneous Comments page.

Another great site with lots of information about dealing with the various issues related to having a child with a medical condition can be found at Courageous Hearts .
