15-day-old Dianna undergoes successful heart operation in Navi Mumbai
Baby Dianna, from Mauritius, was successfully operated for a complex heart problem at the Apollo Hospital in Navi Mumbai when she was just 15-days old, after she was diagnosed with a severe congenital heart disease.
Dianna was born on July 28 in Mauritius with cyanosis, a condition where colour of the skin turns blue or grey in colour. She was eventually diagnosed with valvular pulmonary atresia — a defect of the heart where the valve that controls blood flow from the heart to the lungs doesn’t open at all.
With the help of Mauritian government, Dianna was flown to Mumbai on August 12. At the hospital she was stabilised and in less than 24 hours she was readied for the cardiac procedure. But, before it could start, she suffered a cardiac arrest, which needed immediate shock treatment.
