A Tiny Heart Triumphs Through Complex Cardiac Surgery

A Tiny Heart Triumphs Through Complex Cardiac Surgery

Baby Haya, a 5-year-old, had come to Marengo Asia Hospitals, Faridabad, with multiple cardiac defects including Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries (CCTGA), Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) and a narrowed pulmonary valve. In order to undergo the main surgery, i.e. the Double Switch Operation (DSO), the ventricular defect was closed in such way that the left ventricle was tunnelled to the aorta. This was followed by a synthetic tube with a handstitched valve being used to connect the right ventricle to the pulmonary arteries. The entire procedure was carried out with utmost expertise by Dr Rajesh Sharma, Clinical Director - Paediatric Cardiac Surgery and his team. ​

She had a pacemaker implant due to heart blockage and a prolonged course in ICU due to Thrombocytopenia-associated Multiple Organ Failure (TAMOF) phenotype sepsis. But baby Haya has finally recovered and discharged after a prolonged hospital stay.
