Al-Mansoura Univ Saves Newborn with Surgery
A medical team at the Children's University Hospital at Mansoura University successfully saved a one-day-old newborn through an emergency open-heart surgery to treat a complex and life-threatening congenital heart defect. The infant, who arrived in a critical condition, was suffering from cyanosis and had a blood oxygen saturation level of only 40%. Diagnostic tests revealed that he was affected by total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) with severe obstruction, a condition that requires immediate surgical intervention. Thanks to swift diagnosis and the availability of a specialized surgical team, the surgery was successfully performed using advanced techniques. The child's condition gradually improved; he was weaned off the ventilator after five days and discharged from the hospital in stable condition. This success highlights the capacity of university hospitals to handle critical and rare cases and underscores the importance of early diagnosis and transferring such cases to specialized centers for timely medical decision-making.
