In this critical condition the child was shifted in an ambulance to Cardiac Surgery Department of the KLES Dr. Prabhakar Kore Hospital, Belagavi.

Dr. Praveen Tambrallimath examined the baby and diagnosed the child is suffering from serious birth defect of the heart that needs supra major surgery.

The parents were counselled and consented for the surgery. The 8-hour long surgery on a 10 days baby weighing less than 2 Kgs operating on delicate heart which is less than 50 gms is a challenge and involved great surgical skills, pursuance and patience. The arterial switch operation involved connecting great arteries to the correct pumping chambers was performed. The anomalies in the heart were surgically corrected.

The baby withstood the surgery, for 15 days baby was stabilised in post-surgical Cardiac ICU. Dr. Praveen expressed that if untreated, over 50 percent of infants with transposition will die in the first month of life. The baby is operated under ambitious Goan Health program, Deen Dayal Swasthy Seva Yojana (DDSSY)

The surgical team consisted of Dr. Nikunj Vyas. Dr. Anand Vagrali & Dr. Sharangouda Patil extended anaesthesia back-up, Dr. Nidhi Manvi Goel, Paediatric Cardiac Intensivist post surgically managed baby. Jubilant parents & family members of the baby are extremely happy with the successful outcome of the surgery & thanked the personal care extended by skilled nursing staff. The baby is perfectly fine and discharged from hospital and ready to get united with other baby in home at Goa.
