Meet Our Heroes
Meet Jhonatan, a heart hero who underwent a life-changing open-heart surgery to correct truncus back in March 2019. Truncus arteriosus," also called "common truncus." It's a condition where babies are born with just one highway instead of two that come out of their heart. They also have only one traffic light controlling the blood flow instead of the usual two. 🚦
This mix-up leads to a problem because the oxygen-rich blood gets all mixed up with the oxygen-poor blood. This means that too much blood goes to the lungs, and the poor heart must work extra hard to pump blood to the rest of the body. 💔 Children, like Jhonatan, with this condition need a special surgery to fix their heart and blood vessels. Fast forward to 2023, Jonathan had the opportunity to express his heartfelt gratitude to the extraordinary doctors who transformed his life.
Watch Holman’s Story
Holman received lifesaving surgery 6 years ago, when he was just 12 years old. We were able to reconnect with Holman and his doctor. This compelling story was captured on video and truly embodies the Surgeons of Hope mission.
