High Tech and High Touch

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most prevalent birth defect in America. At Ochsner Hospital for Children, a passionate, highly talented team led by 13 gifted pediatric cardiologists and internationally renowned congenital heart surgeons offer care second to none. Our team provides advanced care for even the most complex pediatric cases. Learn more about care for congenital heart disease in children and adults.

We offer everything from EKGs to non-invasive valve replacements to heart transplants. In fact, we performed the first pediatric heart transplant in the Gulf South.

As part of The John Ochsner Heart & Vascular Institute (JOHVI), our committed cardiovascular experts collaborate with a large team of specialists and subspecialists. Together, they deliver an invaluable continuity of care that extends from before birth through adulthood.

What’s more, our team works side by side with some of the best pediatric cardiology nurses in the country. Unlike most centers, our nurses subspecialize; they have a level of education, experience and expertise that is unrivaled.
