Patient Testimonial - ICR for TOF

About Hasini's Treatment and Recovery

Hasini was diagnosed with a congenital heart condition commonly known as a "hole in the heart," which required timely and specialized medical care. Concerned about her health and future well-being, her family approached Medicover Hospitals, Visakhapatnam, seeking expert cardiac treatment.

Under the care of Dr Karunakara Padhy, CTVS Surgeon, Hasini was thoroughly evaluated and diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a complex congenital heart condition. After careful planning and counseling, the medical team recommended an Intracardiac Repair (ICR) as the most effective treatment. This major heart surgery marked the beginning of Hasini's journey toward improved heart function and a healthier, more active life.

What is a Hole in the Heart?

A "hole in the heart" usually refers to congenital heart defects such as Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) or Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), where there is an abnormal opening between the heart chambers. In Hasini's case, the condition was part of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a complex congenital heart disease present from birth.

Tetralogy of Fallot includes four structural heart defects, one of which is a VSD. These defects disturb normal blood flow and reduce oxygen supply to the body.

Symptoms may vary based on severity and can include:
