Pediatric cardiologists from MassGeneral Hospital for Children diagnose, manage, and treat infants, children, and adolescents born with heart defects and those with acquired heart disease. Services provided at Newton-Wellesley include outpatient and inpatient consultations, as well as pediatric and fetal echocardiography.

The service’s efforts to correct congenital cardiac defects as non-invasively as possible have made it a pioneer in the development of percutaneous transcatheter techniques. These techniques can be used to correct many types of defects, such as atrial septal defects or a patent arterial ductus arteriosus.

The service’s physicians work in close collaboration with pediatric cardiac surgeons.
