At birth, the daughter was found to have an atrial septal defect. Since then, Karina has been under the supervision of a cardiologist, we are regularly examined at the clinic and once a year - in Kiev, at the Amosov Institute. At the last consultation it turned out that the hole between the atria has increased, surgery is needed. It can be done in a gentle, endovascular way that does not require opening the chest. The operation itself will be carried out at the expense of budget funds. But you have to pay for the occluder - a special "patch". And we are not able to collect such a sum. I am now on maternity leave, my husband earns extra money on construction, receives only 3 thousand. UAH, which is barely enough for life. Help us, please! Olga Stetsyura, Vinnytsia region.
Head of the Department of Endovascular Surgery of the National Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery. NM Amosova Yuri Panichkin (Kyiv): "Karina has an enlarged heart, which can lead to development, heart failure, arrhythmia. The girl needs endovascular occlusion of the defect with an occluder. "
Karina Stetsyura was successfully operated on at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery named after NM Amosova (Kyiv). The atrial septal defect has been eliminated, the work of the heart and circulatory system has been restored. The girl will be able to fully grow and develop.
Olga, Karina’s mother, thanks the Ufond readers for their help.
