Bogdan Shapoval





COLLECTED UAH 105,609. The Simple Help Foundation, Privatbank clients and Ufond readers raised UAH 105,609. OPERATED.

I am the mother of a wonderful and long-awaited son Bogdan. Bogdan was born prematurely, at 35 weeks of pregnancy. We have never had heart problems, we always did examinations in time according to age. More recently, I have noticed that the child has become more tired, complaining of rapid heartbeat and tingling in the heart after physical education classes.
During the ultrasound, Bohdan was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect. We were sent for a consultation to the Kyiv Heart Institute, where my son was diagnosed with an atrial septal defect. The size of the hole between the right and left atria is 6 mm. The presence of such a defect is the cause of abnormal blood flow from the left atrium to the right and, as a consequence, overflow of the small circle of blood circulation (lungs) with excess blood.
If you do not eliminate the defect now, then in the future the child may have serious heart problems. Therefore, cardiologists have recommended surgical treatment. The operation can be done endovascularly, which is safest for the child. But it requires an expensive device - an occluder. It so happened that I am raising a child alone, without a father. The amount needed to treat my son is unbearable for me. Therefore, I appeal to all concerned people to help my son. Karina Shapoval, Mykolaiv.
Andriy Khokhlov, Head of the Department of Endovascular Surgery at the Heart Institute (Kyiv): “Bohdan has signs of pulmonary hypertension, he needs endovascular closure of the defect with an occluder. After a gentle operation , the boy will recover quickly and recover. "

The supplier of the occluder issued an invoice for 105,609 hryvnias.
