Save the heart of Ryabushenko Daria

Daria is only 1.6 years old and the baby has a congenital heart defect – atresia of the pulmonary artery with a defect of the interventricular septum. In simple words, the child lacks a vessel that goes from the heart to the lungs. If no help is provided from the first hours of life, these crumbs, unfortunately, die in 100% of cases. Thanks to modern diagnostic techniques, doctors often know about this problem even before the birth of the child and manage to save the life of the baby immediately after birth. In order to return the child to a normal life and prevent him from dying in the first years of life, stage surgical treatment is carried out – two, three, four operations.

Thanks to previous operations, the girl now lives, blood enters the lungs through a tiny connection between the aorta and the branches of the pulmonary artery, in fact, this is the only source of life for the baby. With the growth of the child, this compound becomes insufficient in the child, the oxygen saturation of the blood begins to decrease, he begins to suffocate, unfortunately, this can lead to the worst.

Our ward already needs the final stage of defect correction – restoration of the exit from the heart to the pulmonary artery and closure of the ventricular septal defect. Since the baby does not have her own artery, it must be replaced with an expensive biological implant – Conduit Contegra. After this operation, her heart will function like healthy babies.

Now time goes by for days. And it is very urgent to raise money to buy an implant. The operation in Amosova is done free of charge, but without a conduit they cannot carry out it. An ordinary Ukrainian family from the village has no money to save their daughter's life and they turn to everyone who is not indifferent for help!
