more-inA three-year-old Pakistani boy, Mohammad Bilal, has been successfully treated for a rare heart disease at Jaypee Hospital, Noida, which was recently acclaimed for treating another Pakistani child, four-month-old Rohaan, who was also suffering from a rare congenital heart disease. Both chambers are of the same size, but in Bilal’s case the muscles of his right chamber became weak and got enlarged. Due to the increased size of the right chamber, pressure was built up on the left chamber of his heart. As a result, the child's heart was not functioning properly and the pumped blood was unable to reach the child’s lungs resulting in high risk to his life,” said Dr. Sharma. Prolonged illnessDoctors treated the boy with Fontan Procedure and Right Ventricle Exclusion from Circulation Method.
