Treating Rear Congenital Heart Defect Through an Advanced Cardiac Surgery

Ashraf, a baby from Tajikistan who was born with Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries (CCTGA), was brought to Marengo Asia Hospitals, Faridabad. Along with a reversed lower half of the heart, both his ventricles were at high pressure due to a Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD). Having high pressure in the lungs caused frequent pneumonia as well.

He first underwent a pulmonary artery band to reduce the pressure and blood flow to the lungs. At 3 years of age, he again came back and underwent Double Switch Surgery with closure of the VSD under the expert supervision of Dr Rajesh Sharma, Clinical Director - Paediatric Cardiac Surgery and his team. He has now recovered fully and returned to his home without any complications.
