"This is the only bone and blood of my disabled son. We borrowed all over the village and collected tens of thousands of dollars. Is it enough to treat the baby?" At the Huazhong Fuwai Hospital, the attending doctor Peng Bangtian memorable the child's grandmother. Teary eyes. Now, with the efforts of medical staff and the blessing of the Love Fund, Xiao An'an is healthy again.

On the 4th day of birth, the local hospital found that An An’s heart development had some problems. Parents are advised to take the baby to Zhengzhou to take a look.

An'an's grandma looked at Professor Peng Bangtian and asked anxiously: "This is the only bone and blood of my disabled son. We borrowed all over the village. , To put together tens of thousands of dollars, is it enough for the baby to see the disease?"

On the other hand, after coordination with multiple parties, Peng Bangtian applied for the two major love funds of "Aiyou" and "Tongxin" to provide joint assistance to An'an, which may solve the cost problem for her as much as possible.

Treatment: 5 hours of difficult operation, the child has recovered and discharged. On the

operating table, an artificial valved tube with a diameter of 16mm was carefully inserted into An'an by the experts of Peng Bangtian's team to replace her missing main body. The pulmonary artery, the whole procedure is as thin as a tapestry, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Under the cooperation of the Department of Anesthesiology and Cardiopulmonary Bypass, after nearly 5 hours of "leakage checking and filling", the surgical difficulties were passed safely and the operation was successful.

Under the meticulous care of the ICU of the Children's Heart Center and the medical staff in the ward, An An recovers day by day, and her original wooden face gradually has a smile.

When I get back to the village, I have to talk to everyone!" Henan Business Daily The reporter learned that An An has recovered and was discharged from the hospital.
