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 comprehensive physical examination
Symptom assessment (exercise intolerance, recurrent respiratory infections, palpitations, poor weight gain)
Transthoracic echocardiography-focused clinical evaluation (defect type, size, rims, shunt severity)
Pre-anesthesia and surgical fitness assessment (airway, cardiopulmonary status, comorbidities)
Evaluation for associated congenital anomalies and pulmonary hypertension risk

Laboratory tests

Complete blood count (CBC)
Coagulation profile (PT/INR, APTT)
Renal and liver function tests, electrolytes
Blood type and crossmatch (as required)
Infection screening per operative protocol (e.g., hepatitis, HIV, and others as indicated)
Electrocardiogram (ECG) and chest X-ray
Echocardiography with Doppler assessment (shunt quantification, right heart size/function, pulmonary pressures)
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) or advanced imaging if needed for surgical planning

Diagnosis

Confirmation of ASD type (e.g., secundum, primum, sinus venosus) and hemodynamic significance
Assessment of shunt magnitude and right heart enlargement
Screening for pulmonary hypertension and evaluation of operability
Determination of suitability for micro-invasive surgical repair (and comparison to catheter closure when applicable)

Treatment

Individualized micro-invasive ASD repair plan based on anatomy and clinical status
Minimally invasive surgical access approach (small incision technique) with cardiopulmonary monitoring
ASD closure using patch repair or direct suture closure, depending on defect characteristics
Perioperative care: anesthesia management, pain control, anticoagulation strategy as indicated, infection prevention
Post-operative monitoring for rhythm disturbances, bleeding, and cardiopulmonary function
Follow-up echocardiography to confirm closure and right heart recovery
Discharge plan with activity guidance, wound care instructions, and follow-up schedule

Other

Multidisciplinary evaluation (cardiology, cardiac surgery, anesthesia, ICU, pediatrics)
Pre-treatment counseling on benefits, risks, expected hospital stay, and recovery milestones (case-dependent)
International patient coordination: scheduling, document support, interpreter services, and inpatient navigation
Comprehensive medical report package for continued care with the child’s local cardiologist
Caregiver education on warning signs (fever, breathing difficulty, arrhythmia symptoms) and medication adherence

Distant service

Remote review of echocardiography reports/images and medical history to confirm candidacy
Online consultation to explain repair options (micro-invasive surgery vs. device closure when applicable) and expected outcomes
Pre-arrival testing checklist to streamline admission and reduce waiting time
Post-discharge tele-follow-ups to review recovery, medications, and echo results
Coordination with local healthcare providers for long-term surveillance and routine cardiology follow-up
