Meliva Kardiolita Hospital, Kaunas provides specialised Balloon Atrial Septostomy with a focus on rapid cardiac stabilization, precise catheter navigation, advanced imaging guidance, and individualized neonatal cardiac care. Established in 1998, the JCI accredited hospital is located in Kaunas, Lithuania and operates 8 beds, with modern pediatric cardiology, interventional, neonatal intensive-care, and surgical infrastructure.

Balloon Atrial Septostomy can improve atrial-level blood mixing in selected newborns with critical congenital heart defects. Treatment planning considers the underlying cardiac anatomy, degree of cyanosis, atrial communication, pulmonary and systemic blood flow, and the infant's overall condition. A detailed echocardiographic and clinical assessment helps the pediatric cardiac team determine whether balloon septostomy is appropriate and whether additional catheter-based or surgical intervention will be required.
