About the offer

As a National Training Base for Three-Level Prevention and Treatment of Congenital Heart Disease, Beijing Jingdu Children’s Hospital’s Cardiothoracic Surgery Center focuses on the core feature of right axillary mini-incision technique, safeguarding CHD children with leading medical expertise and quality services. Led by authoritative expert Professor Yang Xueyong, the core surgeons have over 5,000 independent CHD surgery experiences. The right axillary mini-incision (3-5cm, concealed) avoids sternal splitting and rib cutting, preserving thoracic integrity, preventing complications like pigeon chest, and not affecting breast development. It features less bleeding, rapid recovery (ambulation within days), and shortened hospitalization to 7-10 days. Equipped with class 100 laminar flow operating rooms, the center performs nearly 1,000 CHD surgeries annually with a 99. 7% success rate, pioneering mini-incision radical surgery for complex CHD. Comprehensive preoperative assessment, postoperative monitoring and humanized care ensure surgical safety, providing precise, minimally invasive and efficient one-stop services. The optimal surgical timing for children is 1-2 years old.

What’s included

Medical service

Examination

Pediatric cardiology consultation and full clinical assessment
Heart auscultation and vital signs evaluation (oxygen saturation, encourages age-appropriate exercise tolerance review)
Transthoracic echocardiography-focused physical assessment planning (PDA size, shunt direction, pulmonary pressures)
Pre-anesthesia assessment and surgical fitness evaluation

Laboratory tests

Complete blood count (CBC)
Coagulation profile (PT/INR, APTT)
Renal and liver function tests, electrolytes
Blood type and crossmatch (as needed)
Infection screening per surgical protocol (e.g., hepatitis, HIV, others as required)
Baseline ECG and chest X-ray (often included as pre-op investigations)
Echocardiography measurements and Doppler assessment (key procedural planning data)

Diagnosis

Confirmation of PDA by echocardiography (duct size, morphology, and hemodynamic significance)
Assessment of left heart volume overload and pulmonary artery pressure
Classification of PDA severity and determination of closure indication
Differential evaluation for associated congenital heart findings (if present)

Treatment

Micro-invasive surgical PDA closure plan tailored to the child’s anatomy and clinical status
Minimally invasive access approach (small incision technique) with intraoperative monitoring
Closure of the ductus using surgical ligation/clipping per case indication
Perioperative care: anesthesia management, pain control, and infection prevention
Post-operative ICU/ward monitoring for hemodynamics, bleeding, and respiratory status
Follow-up echocardiography to confirm successful closure and cardiac recovery
Discharge planning with activity guidance and medication instructions (if applicable)

Other

Multidisciplinary case evaluation (cardiology, cardiac surgery, anesthesia, pediatrics)
Clear pre-treatment plan with expected length of stay and recovery milestones (case-dependent)
Family counseling on procedural options, benefits, risks, and potential complications
