Nastya Chovban
Prenatally, Anastasia was suspected of having a diaphragmatic hernia and esophageal atresia. That is why we were sent to Lviv to give birth so that our child could receive all the necessary help. Our daughter was born with a real fight. In the first minutes of her life, she was taken to the intensive care unit - doctors fought for her every breath. After the examination, an operation was performed to repair the diaphragmatic hernia, and we also learned that our daughter had several heart defects, including a patent ductus arteriosus, through which the heart works with a heavy load. Nastya spent the first weeks on a ventilator, then on CPAP breathing support, and suffered two pneumonias. We have been waiting for a long time for the moment when she will be able to breathe on her own. Now Anastasia is already breathing air without machines, but at night she still needs oxygen - we purchased a concentrator to help her at home. During the first three months of her life, Nastya spent two months in intensive care and a month in neonatal pathology. Only recently, we were able to leave the hospital and live in Lviv, in a rented apartment, and we rejoice in every smile of our daughter. Anastasia has a limited amount of fluid and takes diuretics 3 times a day, her heartbeat often accelerates and she gets tired quickly. Doctors say that in order for her heart to work fully and not be overloaded, it is necessary to perform endovascular closure of the open duct using an occluder. This will give her a chance to live a full life without constant oxygen deficiency, without tachycardia and weakness, to breathe, grow and eat fully, like all children. We believe that after this operation Anastasia will be able to leave behind a difficult beginning in life forever and will have the childhood that every child deserves. Please help our daughter be healthy! Svitlana Chovban, Transcarpathian region. Cardiovascular surgeon of the First Territorial Medical Association of Lviv Besh Dmytro: "Anastasia has a complex, combined congenital heart defect. The child was diagnosed with a patent ductus arteriosus and a patent foramen ovale. There are all indications that the foramen ovale will close on its own, the ductus arteriosus needs to be closed endovascularly. With this heart defect, the lungs receive more blood and the pressure in them increases. In addition, this defect is a risk factor for the development of other diseases. The optimal treatment option for this defect is to close the opening with an occluder." The occlude supplier issued an invoice for UAH 127 597.
