Program Description:
Congenital heart diseases have high complexities and require interventions by experts; in addition, the nature of congenital heart diseases and their interventions and treatments are completely different from those of adult heart diseases. Hence, congenital heart diseases need careful and special considerations. Their early detection leads to earlier and better management. Therefore, by commencing the congenital cardiac surgery fellowship, more specialized treatments will be provided to children with heart diseases, who are the future of the country and need a lot of attention. In IRI, pediatric cardiac surgery is performed exclusively in a few centers by a few cardiac surgeons in a specialized and advanced way. Therefore, by commencing this fellowship training program on congenital heart diseases for adult and pediatric cardiac surgeons, it will be possible to perform these surgeries in more centers across the country.
