Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) Treatment in Children. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Congenital heart disease (CHD) refers to structural abnormalities of the heart or its major blood vessels that are present from birth, forming during the first weeks of pregnancy. It is the most common birth defect worldwide, ranging from small holes between chambers that may close on their own to complex malformations requiring surgery within days of birth. Common defects include ventricular septal defects (VSD), atrial septal defects (ASD), tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome, among many others. Treatment is highly individualised — some children need only monitoring, others require medication to support heart function, and many need a catheter-based procedure or open-heart surgery. Thanks to advances in pediatric cardiac care, the majority of children with CHD today grow into adulthood and lead active lives, though lifelong cardiology follow-up remains an important part of their care.
Medicines and regular cardiac check-ups for children whose defect is small or mild — no procedure needed, but close monitoring ensures the heart is developing well.
Estimated cost: ~$200 – $500
Typical tests: 2D Echocardiogram with colour Doppler, ECG (12-lead), Chest X-ray (PA view), Pulse oximetry assessment, CBC (complete blood count), Blood group and Rh typing, Serum electrolytes and kidney function, Pediatric growth and nutritional assessment. Done in India before admission.
Estimated cost in India: $2,500 – $4,000
Treatment duration in India: ~2 weeks (~4 hospital visit days across the full span)
A thin tube is guided through a blood vessel in the groin to close a hole, widen a narrowed valve, or place a stent — no open chest incision, and most children go home within two days.
Estimated cost: ~$300 – $500
Typical tests: 2D Echocardiogram with colour Doppler (updated pre-procedure), ECG (12-lead), Chest X-ray (PA view), CBC, blood group and cross-match, Coagulation profile (PT/INR, APTT), Serum electrolytes, kidney function, and LFT, Pediatric anesthesia clearance evaluation, Pulse oximetry and oxygen saturation profile. Done in India before admission.
Estimated cost in India: $4,500 – $8,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1 days
Hospitalisation: ~5 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~10 days recommended

Major reconstructive cardiac surgery for complex defects such as tetralogy of Fallot repair, arterial switch operation for TGA, and staged procedures for single-ventricle hearts — often requiring PCICU care for several days.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests: 2D Echocardiogram with colour Doppler (updated pre-operative), ECG (12-lead), Chest X-ray (PA and lateral views), Cardiac CT angiography or cardiac MRI for anatomy mapping, Diagnostic cardiac catheterisation with pressure and oxygen saturation measurements (if not recent), CBC, blood group and cross-match (with blood reservation), Coagulation profile (PT/INR, APTT, fibrinogen, thromboelastogram), Serum electrolytes, kidney function, LFT, and blood gases, Pediatric anesthesia and ICU clearance evaluation, Genetic or chromosomal testing if syndrome suspected and not yet done. Done in India before admission.
Estimated cost in India: $7,000 – $14,000
