One of the greatest pleasures in our profession is sending home a young patient after a complex congenital heart surgery. A 9-month-old infant from Bangladesh, who weighed 6.0 kg, was not gaining weight due to recurrent chest infections and required frequent hospital admissions. The child was diagnosed with two holes in the heart. The parents consulted us for a definitive treatment plan, and understandably, they were anxious. Our team successfully performed the surgery, repairing the defects, and the child is recovering well. With a successful outcome, the child is ready for discharge within four days. The child has kindly agreed to pose for a photo with the surgeon. We hope the child enjoys a long, healthy life.
