At Attic Hospital, we prioritize providing exceptional care for patients of all ages, from newborns to the elderly. We are delighted to announce the arrival of our very first baby with coronary disease, a rare and challenging condition.
Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals has successfully treated and cared for this precious little one, exemplifying our commitment to delivering comprehensive and compassionate medical services. This milestone signifies our hospital’s capabilities in managing complex cardiac cases and our unwavering devotion to improving the lives of our patients, no matter how young or vulnerable.
Understanding Coronary Disease in Infants
Coronary disease, also known as coronary artery disease (CAD), is typically associated with older adults. However, it can also affect infants, albeit rarely.
CAD in infants occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrow or blocked, hindering proper blood flow. This condition can emerge due to various causes, including congenital heart defects, inflammation, or a complication of certain metabolic disorders.
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Exceptional Care
Attic Hospital believes in a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach to healthcare.
When it comes to treating coronary disease in infants, our team of specialists, including pediatric cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, neonatologists, intensivists, and specially trained nurses, work together to develop personalized treatment plans.
From the moment our little patient arrived at our hospital, our team sprang into action, leveraging their expertise and state-of-the-art technologies to ensure the best possible outcome.
With access to cutting-edge diagnostic tools, such as echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, and even non-invasive procedures, we swiftly identified the underlying causes of the condition and formulated a comprehensive treatment strategy.
Advanced Treatment Options
Attic Hospital is well-equipped to provide advanced and innovative treatments for infants with coronary disease. Our medical professionals meticulously analyze each case and implement personalized treatment plans.
Depending on the severity and underlying cause of the infant’s coronary disease, our team may recommend one or a combination of the following treatment options:.

The Attic Hospital: A Miracle Birth
1. Medications:
For infants with mild symptoms or certain types of coronary disease, carefully prescribed medications can help manage the condition.
Our pediatric cardiologists closely monitor the baby’s response to medications and make adjustments as required, ensuring optimal care without compromising their fragile health.
2. Interventional Procedures:
In certain cases, minimally invasive interventional procedures may be recommended. These procedures aim to widen narrowed arteries or repair defects without the need for open-heart surgery.
Our skilled interventional cardiologists specialize in performing procedures such as balloon angioplasty, stent placement, and coiling, alleviating coronary obstructions and improving blood flow.
3. Surgical Interventions:
For more complex cases where medical management or interventional procedures are insufficient, surgical interventions may be necessary.
Attic Hospital is equipped with cutting-edge operating rooms and a team of highly experienced cardiac surgeons who perform intricate procedures with utmost precision. These can include coronary artery bypass grafting and valve repairs or replacements. We prioritize the use of minimally invasive surgical techniques whenever possible to minimize postoperative discomfort and promote faster recovery in little ones.
Compassionate Care for Families
At Attic Hospital, we recognize that supporting families through difficult times is integral to comprehensive care.
Our team maintains open lines of communication with parents, offering support, answering questions, and providing guidance throughout their child’s treatment journey. We understand the emotional toll that a diagnosis of coronary disease can have on families, and we strive to create an atmosphere of empathy and understanding.
A Hopeful Future
The successful treatment of our first baby with coronary disease at Attic Hospital has emboldened us to further enhance our efforts and drive innovation in pediatric cardiology.
We remain committed to advancing research, improving diagnostic capabilities, and raising awareness about coronary disease in infants. Every case we encounter reinforces our dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of our patients while fostering hope for a healthier future.
