Fetal Heart Program

When a baby’s heart is going to need extra care, Children’s Nebraska’s fetal heart specialists are here to support your patient throughout pregnancy and from the moment of birth.

About Us

Children’s Nebraska’s Fetal Heart Program provides comprehensive care for your patients and their babies. We are equipped with advanced imaging tools and technology along with the expertise to diagnose and treat even the most complex congenital heart conditions. These conditions can range from mild arrhythmias to structural defects such as small holes or inherited heart disease.

For any diagnosis, your patient can expect high-quality care. We work closely with specialists at Children’s Criss Heart Center and other disciplines to ensure the best outcomes. If surgery is required, our heart surgeons will assess the baby’s needs and guide the family through the preparation process.

While your patient’s obstetric (OB) and maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) providers remain the primary caregivers during the pregnancy, we will collaborate closely with you and them. After a full evaluation, we’ll discuss the most appropriate treatment options for your patient and their baby.
