Parent of a 3-Year-Old Patient

Condition: Tetralogy of Fallot (Congenital Heart Disease)

★★★★★

"Our daughter's lips and nails would turn bluish, and she struggled to breathe and feed properly. We were told she had a serious heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot. Dr. Rahul Kumar Bhukar and his team explained everything clearly and gave us confidence that she was in safe hands. The surgery lasted about five hours, and she was discharged just five days later, in stable condition. Today, she is playing and feeding normally — something we weren't sure we would ever see. We are deeply grateful, and the fact that the entire treatment was covered under the Chief Minister Ayushman Arogya Yojana meant we never had to worry about the cost while our child's life was at stake."

Landmark Case — Congenital Heart Surgery in a 3-Year-Old Child

Condition: A three-year-old child was diagnosed with cyanotic congenital heart disease, specifically Tetralogy of Fallot — a condition involving a large hole between the two pumping chambers of the heart, along with narrowing of the blood vessel carrying blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. Due to reduced oxygenated blood supply, the child experienced bluish discolouration of the lips and nails, breathlessness, and difficulty feeding.

Treatment Given: Under the guidance of Dr. Rahul Kumar Bhukar, Consultant — Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery (CTVS), the child underwent intracardiac repair surgery. The defect between the chambers was closed, and reconstruction of the pulmonary valve, pulmonary wall, and artery was performed. The surgery lasted approximately five hours. The entire treatment was provided free of cost under the Chief Minister Ayushman Arogya Yojana.

Outcome: The child was discharged in stable condition on the fifth day after surgery.
