Four-month-old Rohaan from Pakistan suffered from a peculiar congenital cardiac condition described as D-transportation of great arteries with abnormal origin of main arteries from opposite chambers with multiple VSD and severe pulmonary hypertension.
On July 14, the infant was operated at Jaypee Hospital, Noida by Dr. Rajesh Sharma and his team.
Dr. Sharma said that the little one had a hole in his heart and the aorta which was supposed on the left side, was located on the right side of his heart.
On the contrary the pulmonary arteries were located on the left side, added he.
Because of multiple VSD in his heart the blood that flowed through his body lacked oxygen causing cyanosis.
Due to this conditon, Rohaan was susceptible to breathing problems along with pneumonia.
After a 5 hour long surgery he was put on ventilation and a tracheotomy was performed.
He will be dicharged when the hospital deems it fit.
