He had undergone intracardiac repair with transannual patch at the age of 9 months for Tetralogy of Fallot in 2015. He was evaluated at an outside hospital for deranged LFT and portal hypertension. The echocardiogram revealed severe pulmonary regurgitation with regurgitant fraction of 66% and RVEF 32%. He had an intact VSD patch with no residual shunt.\u201d <\/em>The boy was referred to MGM Healthcare by another private hospital in the city.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After routine pre-operative investigations, Ansar was taken up to surgery for pulmonary valve implantation. Post-surgery, he was shifted to the ICU with stable hemodynamics and inotropic support. He was gradually weaned off the ventilator and extubated on the first post-operative day. The inotropic support was gradually tapered off. The boy responded well and was shifted to the ward on the third post-operative day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-13602\" src=\"https:\/\/yourchennai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MGM-Healthcare-Logo-300x167.jpg\" alt=\"MGM Healthcare Logo\" width=\"300\" height=\"167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourchennai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MGM-Healthcare-Logo-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yourchennai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MGM-Healthcare-Logo-768x427.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yourchennai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MGM-Healthcare-Logo-715x400.jpg 715w, https:\/\/yourchennai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MGM-Healthcare-Logo.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Speaking on the complex surgery Dr Suresh Rao K G, Co- Director, Institute of Heart and lung transplantation said \u201cAnsar came to India for a liver transplant as his liver condition was failing. The primary cause for the liver failure was right heart failure because of pulmonary leak. Now that we have corrected the leak his condition will improve to get stable for a liver transplant if the liver condition does not improve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ansar was discharged on the ninth post-operative day. At the time of discharge, he was alert and afebrile and is now doing well. His chest wound is healing well.
