Kevin WalshConsultant in Paediatric Cardiology
Professor Kevin Walsh is a Cardiology Consultant specializing in congenital heart disease, both adult and paediatric. He is Clinical lead for the National Adult Congenital Heart Service at the Mater Misericordia University Hospital, Dublin. His major interest is in interventional cardiology for both congenital and structural heart disease. He has special interest in device occlusion of septal defects with pioneering work on many of the current devices in clinical use today. He performed the First In Man implantation of Amplatzer Cardiac Plug for atrial fibrillation at the Beacon Hospital in 2008, the first licensed Melody pulmonic valve implantation in Europe in 2006 and first percutaneous reversed Potts shunt for Pulmonary hypertension in the British Isles in 2018.
