Spain has very good surgeons capable of performing incredible operations, today we have seen an impressive news in which the first reconstruction of the heart of a girl in our country has been carried out. The child suffered from a very complex congenital heart disease, there are several congenital heart diseases that can be suffered, this is a generic term, so it is not suitable to describe a specific cardiac malformation.
This particularly (transposition of large arteries) presented a change of situation between the correlation of the ventricles and the arteries of the heart, that is, the right ventricle was attached to the aorta and the left ventricle to the pulmonary artery, that is, the reverse of how the system should work. In addition, there were other problems in the heart, a defect of the septum that separates both ventricles or the obstruction of the passage of blood to the lungs. The heart had to be completely remade, it is difficult to put yourself in the place of the mother of the little girl, knowing that specialists must fragment your daughter's heart to reunify it, she could have many risks. It is very complicated to assimilate if you do not live in the first person.
This operation has allowed the girl not to have to be intervened again in the future using various prostheses that would diminish her quality of life. Once the surgery is done, the little girl is in perfect condition and can lead a practically normal life. Knowing news of this nature is cause for joy, knowing that we have great specialists capable of saving and improving the lives of children with really serious diseases or malformations, is a source of pride and tranquility.
Congratulations to the team of surgeons of the Cardiac Surgery Unit of La Fe Children's Hospital.
