How to Select the Best Hospital for Aortopulmonary Window Repair in India?
Choosing the right hospital for aortopulmonary window repair is one of the most important decisions in your treatment journey. A few factors are worth weighing before you decide:
International Accreditation
Look for a hospital with international accreditation such as JCI or NABH — see the accreditation badges shown for each hospital below.
Specialization
Check that the hospital's listed specialties actually include cardiovascular surgery rather than only general care.
Capacity and Track Record
Bed count and year established (shown below for each hospital) are a reasonable proxy for scale and operating experience.
Transparent Costs
Ask for an itemised, all-inclusive estimate — hospital charges, room category and stay — before you travel. Our cost calculator (linked below) gives a starting estimate.
Understanding Aortopulmonary Window Repair
Aortopulmonary Window (APW) repair is a rare but critical open-heart surgical procedure performed to close an abnormal communication between the ascending aorta and the main pulmonary artery, a congenital defect that, if left uncorrected, leads to irreversible pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular failure.
Clinical Overview
- Aortopulmonary Window (APW), also termed aortopulmonary septal defect, is a congenital cardiac anomaly characterized by a direct communication between the left lateral wall of the ascending aorta and the right wall of the main or proximal branch pulmonary artery, in the presence of two separate, morphologically normal semilunar valves.
- This anatomical distinction separates APW from truncus arteriosus.
- The defect is classified by the Mori classification (Type I: proximal/simple; Type II: distal involving the right pulmonary artery origin; Type III: total or mixed) and by the Richardson classification, which guides operative planning.
Who is a Candidate?
- **Definitive surgical candidates:** Neonates, infants, and young children diagnosed with APW (Mori Type I, II, or III / Richardson Type 1, 2, or 3) with a hemodynamically significant left-to-right shunt (Qp:Qs > 1.5:1) and pulmonary vascular resistance index (PVRi) < 8 Wood Units/m².
- **Older children with borderline PVR:** Patients aged 1–5 years with PVRi 6–8 WU/m² may undergo cardiac catheterization with vasoreactivity testing (100% oxygen and/or iNO); operability is confirmed if PVR/SVR ratio falls below 0.4 on testing.
- **Associated anomalies requiring simultaneous repair:** Interrupted aortic arch (IAA), ventricular septal defect (VSD), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and anomalous right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery — all must be comprehensively mapped pre-operatively.
- **Required diagnostic workup:**
- Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE): defect size, location, valve morphology, ventricular function

- **1.
- Open Surgical Repair via Median Sternotomy (Gold Standard)**
Recovery
- **Phase 1 — Pre-Operative Evaluation and Planning (Days 1–5 after arrival)** Upon arrival, the patient is admitted to the congenital cardiology unit.
- The comprehensive diagnostic workup is completed or reviewed: TTE/TEE, cardiac CTA, hemodynamic catheterization data, and laboratory studies.
- A multidisciplinary team conference involving the congenital cardiac surgeon, pediatric cardiologist, cardiac anesthesiologist, neonatologist/intensivist, and perfusionist reviews the case.
Risks to be aware of
- Aortopulmonary Window repair, while carrying an excellent overall success rate (95–98%) at experienced congenital heart centers, is a major open-heart operation in predominantly neonatal and infant patients, and carries procedure-specific and population-specific risks that must be disclosed transparently.
- The most significant acute risk is pulmonary hypertensive crisis — a sudden, potentially life-threatening spike in pulmonary arterial pressure triggered by hypoxia, pain, or suctioning in the early post-operative period; this is managed with iNO, deep sedation, and optimized ventilation.
