MANGALURU: A three-day-old baby was operated on successfully at A J Hospital for a rare congenital heart disease.
The baby Padma (name changed) was referred to AJ Hospital with complaints of bluish discolouration of lips and fingertips, along with poor feeding and lethargy, said Dr Prashanth Marla, medical director, AJ Hospital and Research Centre.
“The baby girl was evaluated by Dr Prem Alva, an interventional paediatric cardiologist. The baby had a low oxygen level of 58%, and was diagnosed to have the heart on the right side of the chest. The blood vessel arising from the heart to the lungs was totally blocked, which is a condition called pulmonary atresia. Meanwhile, the baby also had a large hole in the heart,” Dr Marla said.
