Inova Children's Hospital

Children with congenital heart disease may benefit from one of the medically advanced, minimally invasive procedures performed in one of our dedicated pediatric cardiac catheterization labs. Our specialists use catheters, balloons and coils designed uniquely for children and infants to open or dilate narrowed blood vessels and heart valves. Cardiac catheterization procedures may also be used to close areas where blood is not supposed to flow. The interventional procedures commonly done at Inova Children's Hospital include: Placing a melody valve to replace the pulmonary valve Coiling abnormal vessels in the heart or lungs Support Our Biggest Stars Donate and help fund life-saving programs, research and support for our pediatric patients.
