Umme Harshiya is a four year old baby girl who underwent an open heart surgery to repair a congenital heart defect known as Ebstein anomaly. Umme’s parents are from Hubli, a city 400 kilometres from Bangalore in the north of Karnataka state. Umme’s father, Abdul Sul is a scrap scavenger on the roads of Hubli. Her echocardiography examination revealed a dilated right atrium and right ventricle with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). This Ebstein anomaly has been diagnosed because of a dysfunctional tricuspid valve between the right atrium and right ventricle. There was an apical displacement of the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve, which required reconstruction surgically. Umme Harshiya’s surgery was planned on 11 Dec and done as per plan,A complex procedure lasting this long, requiring such a large team of professionals would usually cost a fortune, well beyond Abdul’s reach. Umme’s life and heart would continue to be at critical risk, if not for the operation. This procedure has been partially supported by the government’s BPL scheme and with the Help of Young Hearts Foundation’s financial assistance. On the table, the surgeon discovered that the tricuspid valve was far worse than he predicted. Almost the entire structure of the valve needed to be reconstructed. He used a piece of the pericardial tissue to repair the valve, meticulously tearing it apart and building it back again. He constantly put his reconstruction to test by manually filling the right ventricle with saline solution and checking for regurgitation. While coming off the bypass and restarting Umme’s heart, the team noticed some irregular rhythms that culminated in a second degree conduction block (Mobitz type I). The team decided to wait and watch for the conduction abnormality to correct itself. After an hour of persisting, the decision was made to keep the heart beating on a temporary pacemaker, which was removed after normal sinus rhythm was restored during ICU care. After observation in the ICU following the complex surgery, Umme was finally shifted to post-operative care and was discharged after everything was normal and kid was fit and fine.

Lata is a single mom who’s been struggling financially, doing odd jobs to make ends meet. Lata currently lives with her mother who is the only person to support her. Pradeep’s VSD was diagnosed when he was 3 months old. Since then he has manifested regular fevers and upper respiratory tract infections.He was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism.His echocardiography revealed large hole separating the left and right heart below the aorta causing fresh, oxygenated blood to flow back into the lungs instead of the rest of his body. During the surgery, the team confirmed the VSD on table with right atrial and right ventricular dilation. Pradeep’s heart also showed mild to moderate aortic regurgitation (AR) and mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Under the charge of Dr Tameem, anaesthesiologist, and his team of Doctors,nurses, perfusionists and technicians, the surgery was carried out successfully in a few hours. A post-op echo was performed again on Pradeep and there was no VSD, and no AR or TR observed. After a couple of days under observation in the ICU and post-operative care soon after, Pradeep was finally discharged on 19 December. He travelled back to Magadi with his mother Lata and his grandmother. He endured a complex procedure on his heart, despite their financial shortcomings, and now his family can be assured that Pradeep will grow into a healthy boy with his repaired congenital defect. All this was possible because of Governments BPL Scheme and Young hearts foundation’s financial assistance.
