Vika was born a healthy child. Our whole family was very happy to see her. One year after the birth, during a routine examination, the daughters were diagnosed with a congenital heart defect - atrial septal defect. This often happens in newborns. But doctors reassured us that the defect could last for up to two or three years as Victoria grew older. We really hoped that would happen. But hopes were dashed. We were sent for a consultation to the Heart Institute, where the cardiologist said that the child’s heart begins to work with overload and now the defect increases, which leads to dilatation (increase in the volume of the heart chambers - Ufond ) of the right heart. Now you need to do surgery to remove the birth defect. How is the operation? Isn’t she so small? Her heart is still so tiny ... Cardiac surgeons from the Heart Institute offered us an alternative - to close the defect gently, without opening the chest, with a special implant - an occluder. The operation cannot be postponed, but we cannot raise money for it. Therefore, we ask your foundation to help you buy an occluder for Victoria and thus give her the opportunity for a full and healthy life. Alina Hrybenko, Kyiv. Andriy Khokhlov (Kyiv), Head of the Department of Endovascular Surgery at the Heart Institute: “In Victoriacongenital heart disease. Given the topic of the defect and the general condition of the girl, she needs to perform endovascular closure of the atrial septal defect with a special device - an occluder. This will stop the development of dangerous complications. The girl will be healthy. "
The occluder supplier issued an invoice for UAH 105,609.
