A surgical team led by Dr Collin John, a senior pediatric surgeon, has performed a rare heart surgery on a 25-day old baby at the Narayana Hrudayalaya. The baby boy was diagnosed with a rare congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) in pre-natal stage.
This condition means the boy had no left ventricle in his heart. The surgeons performed a surgery called the Norwood procedure in which the right ventricle of the heart is connected to the aorta to restore blood supply to various parts of the body in the first stage.
