Back in the maternity hospital, my daughter was diagnosed with a congenital heart disease. A few days before the discharge, they did an ultrasound of the heart again and said that the defect should close on its own. For four years, Angelica grew and developed like all children. In 2016, we underwent another examination, did an ultrasound of my daughter’s heart and found that the open ductus arteriosus never closed. My daughter underwent open heart surgery according to the state quota. After the operation, Angelica was recovering for a long time, but everything worked out and seemed to be a thing of the past.
The girl grew up agile, active and curious. And in recent months, she seems to have been replaced: she has become sleepy, lethargic, often complains of fatigue, catches a cold every month. In the spring, Angelica began to attend preparatory classes before the first grade and after one lesson she got very tired. During the medical examination we had in front of the school, my daughter had an ultrasound of her heart and it was suspected that the congenital defect had not been eliminated during the first operation. We were sent for examination to the National Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery named after NM Amosova. Here the diagnosis was confirmed: open ductus arteriosus, duct resuscitation required. I had to postpone the beginning of school life - Angelica will go to first grade next year. Cardiologists of the institute believe that it is necessary to operate, and as soon as possible. This time, Experts recommend sparing surgery with a spiral occluder. This operation is less, unlike the first, will harm the health of my child. The operation will be done according to the state quota, but the occluder is not paid from the budget. And where can I get such an amount? I am raising my daughter myself. I can’t do it without the help of good people!Nelya Kotenko, Sumy region.
Head of the Department of Endovascular Treatment of Congenital and Acquired Heart Diseases of the National Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery named after NM Amosova Igor Ditkovsky (Kiev): “Angelica needs to have an endovascular closure of the open arterial duct using a spiral occluder. This time we will avoid open heart surgery. After a gentle intervention, the girl will quickly recover and return to normal life.

The supplier of the spiral occluder issued an invoice for UAH 34,240.
