New Delhi:
A Bareilly day baby from Uttar Pradesh underwent a successful high -risk open heart surgery in a private hospital here, doctors said.
They said that the baby suffered transposition of the great arteries (TGA), a rare condition in which the main arteries of the heart are invested, along with a hole in the heart.
The three -hour surgery was successful and the baby was discharged in stable condition after 16 days of postoperative attention.
Neeraj Awasthy, director of Pediatric Cardiology at the Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, performed the operation of the arterial switch to correct the defect.
Awasthy said that the baby’s condition was detected during a 20 -week routine pregnancy exploration when doctors suspected cardiac abnormalities. The newborn is now recovering well at home, and doctors have advised continuous monitoring to monitor growth and cardiac function.
