Case Summary

vidhya is 1.5 years old Daughter of Mr.sanjay who is suffering from Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a cardiac anomaly that refers to a combination of four related heart defects that commonly occur together. The four defects are:

Ventricular septal defect (VSD)
Overriding aorta − the aortic valve is enlarged and appears to arise from both the left and right ventricles instead of the left ventricle as in normal hearts
Pulmonary stenosis − narrowing of the pulmonary valve and outflow tract or area below the valve that creates an obstruction (blockage) of blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery
Right ventricular hypertrophy − thickening of the muscular walls of the right ventricle, which occurs because the right ventricle is pumping at high pressure
A small percentage of children with tetralogy of Fallot may also have additional ventricular septal defects, an atrial septal defect (ASD) or abnormalities in the branching pattern of their coronary arteries. Some patients with tetralogy of Fallot have complete obstruction to flow from the right ventricle or pulmonary atresia. Tetralogy of Fallot may be associated with chromosomal abnormalities, such as 22q11 deletion syndrome.

The pulmonary stenosis and right ventricular outflow tract obstruction are seen with tetralogy of Fallot usually limit blood flow to the lungs. When blood flow to the lungs is restricted, the combination of the ventricular septal defect and overriding aorta allows oxygen-poor blood (“blue”) returning to the right atrium and right ventricle to be pumped out the aorta to the body.

This “shunting” of oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle to the body results in a reduction in the arterial oxygen saturation so that babies appear cyanotic, or blue. The cyanosis occurs because oxygen-poor blood is darker and has a blue colour so that the lips and skin appear blue.

But unfortunately Vidhya family is quite poor as his father is working in a private company and can earn only up to 9000/- a month which is very hard for him to afford his daughter’s surgery so that’s why where we doctors for you-USA is helping for the further good life for his daughter vidhya’s surgery will take place in medanta the medecity the total cost of her surgery is 100000/- i.e.($1530.11) but out of which vidhya’s parents can only be able to afford 50000/- ($765.05) and rest of the amount we are paying so we need your support and please donate for this little girl
