Case Summary

Sahil is 10 years old boy suffering from Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a heart problem that occurs soon after birth in some babies. In PDA, abnormal blood flow occurs between two of the major arteries connected to the heart.

Before birth, the two major arteries-the aorta and the pulmonary (PULL-mun-ary) artery-are connected by a blood vessel called the ductus arteriosus. This vessel is an essential part of fetal blood circulation.

Within minutes or up to a few days after birth, the vessel is supposed to close as part of the normal changes occurring in the baby’s circulation.

In some babies, however, the ductus arteriosus remains open (patent). This opening allows oxygen-rich blood from the aorta to mix with oxygen-poor blood from the pulmonary artery. This can put the strain on the heart and increase blood pressure in the lung arteries.

This problem can be fixed by a simple surgery of PDA but Sahil’s family is quite poor as his father is labor and can only earn up to 5000/- a month and due to this his family cant affords the surgery. The total cost of the surgery is 65000/- ($964.61) so that’s why we are helping in the surgery of Sahil his operation will be done in GB pant so please pray and donate for him
