What does your loved one’s scar remind you of? ❤️❤️‍🩹

To us, every scar tells a story of planning, precision, a devoted CTICU team and a remarkable support system.

A cardiothoracic scar is a scar that restores someone’s future; and it’s also one that carries so much story with it.

We’d love to celebrate the scars that our warrior’s wear like medals🏅. If your warrior has a medal, please share a pic of it with us below.

Celebrating the van Wijk family’s ❤️❤️❤️.

“At birth, we believed our baby boy was healthy and were unaware of any underlying medical condition. When he was three weeks old, he developed flu-like symptoms along with an eye infection. During this time, our wonderful doctor in Polokwane detected a heart murmur.

Initially, we did not understand the seriousness of his condition. After waiting two weeks to see a paediatric cardiologist, our son was five weeks old when we received the diagnosis, which occurred on a Saturday. The paediatric cardiologist immediately admitted him to the NICU in Polokwane.

Early on Sunday morning, our son went into cardiac failure. The hospital contacted us to inform us that he would be transferred urgently to Netcare Sunninghill Hospital in Sandton. Upon his arrival, we were informed that our baby boy required emergency heart surgery.

He was diagnosed with a coarctation of the aorta, which was successfully repaired. He was also found to have a bicuspid aortic valve, which is currently leaking slightly.

Our son is now two years old and will be turning three in June. We are forever grateful to the incredible surgeons and doctors at Netcare Sunninghill for saving our little fighter’s life, as well as the outstanding CTICU nurses who supported us every step of the way.”

World Hypertension Day 🩺❤️

Today, we stand with the global call to action: “Controlling Hypertension Together: check your blood pressure regularly, defeat the silent killer.”

As cardiothoracic surgeons, we see firsthand the devastating impact uncontrolled hypertension can have on the heart and vascular system. From heart failure and coronary artery disease to aortic dissections and stroke-related complications, high blood pressure is often a silent contributor to life-threatening conditions.
🩻

Early detection, regular monitoring and effective management of hypertension can significantly reduce complications and improve long-term outcomes for patients.

We encourage you to take charge of your heart health by knowing your numbers, attending regular check-ups and making heart-conscious lifestyle choices.

Prevention remains one of the most powerful forms of care. 💪🫀

International Nurses Day 🩷👩‍⚕️

When we think of our team of nurses, we think of this quote: “people will forget what you said. But they will never forget how you made them feel”.

Every day, our nurses bring comfort, compassion and love to our some of our patient’s most vulnerable moments. It is their kindness, patience and unwavering care that often leaves a lasting impact on every patient and family they care for.

Today, we celebrate and honour the incredible hearts behind the healing. Thank you for all that you do. 🙏❤️

Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS)…
A CHD which is usually accompanied by a hole in the heart 💔.
HLHS affects around 1 in every 4000 babies born, and presents as several defects affecting the left side of the heart.

If your child or loved one has or had HLHS, please share a pic or an update with us of them in the comments below. We would love to see or hear how they are doing and offer families hope who are in similar situations.

People often see the operation as the most important part of surgery - but in reality, outcomes depend on everything that happens before, during and after theatre.

Every stage of the journey matters and is essential for restoring health🫀🫁.

Before we touch a heart or lungs, we scrub our hands. Usually with meaningful intention🙏. It is one of our final moments before scrubbing into surgery.

To us, it is so much than a medical routine. It’s a quiet act of prayer and us asking for our patient to be protected 🙏🤍.

Today is World Hand Hygiene Day. Handwashing remains one of the simplest and most important ways we protect our patients.
