Services Offered:
Heart Transplants: We perform heart transplant surgeries, such as the one successfully carried out on an 11-month-old girl suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy.
Neonatal Procedures: We have collaborated on delicate procedures, such as the ligation of the patent ductus arteriosus in premature infants, to ensure proper blood circulation.
Regional Collaborations: We offer support to regional hospital facilities, such as the San Leonardo Hospital in Castellammare di Stabia, for neonatal cardiac surgery.
