Our philosophy is to avoid surgery whenever possible. In many cases, we can also combine diagnostic and interventional catheterizations, which minimizes the number of procedures your child might need.
Our full-service cardiac catheterization capabilities include a biplane lab – a cutting-edge technology that minimizes radiation exposure – dedicated to diagnostic evaluation and therapy in children.
Our interventional cardiac team has expertise in:
Our expert, compassionate interventional cardiologists partner with neonatal intensive care units across Virginia and surrounding states for PDA closures in even the smallest infants, including babies as small as 1.5 pounds (700g). Babies are stabilized and transferred to CHoR for the procedure, monitored in our level 4 NICU and then transferred back to their home NICU, close to home and their support system. Our team can arrange virtual consultations with providers and families upon request. Referring providers can request a consult or refer a patient by calling the provider access line: (804) 628-1PAL (1725).
