We bought Sofia the implant she needed for her aortic surgery!

Sofia needs a repeat operation on her aorta. At birth, Sofia was diagnosed with a congenital malformation of the aorta. In one place, the vessel was very narrow and was holding back the flow of blood. An emergency operation was required to avoid serious problems. 10 years have passed, and a repeated narrowing of the aorta has formed at the site of the operation. The lumen of the vessel is only 4 millimeters instead of 14. Because of this, Sofia has high blood pressure and often has severe headaches. The girl needs to install a special balloon at the site of the narrowing, which will gradually stretch the narrow spot. Then the blood will flow evenly along its route. Without this, the brain and internal organs do not receive enough oxygen and nutrients. Sofia is interested in foreign languages, drawing, and designing jewelry and clothes. She enjoys helping her mother with the housework and her younger sister with her homework. She dreams of becoming a pediatrician and helping all the children in the world. Let's help Sofia feel good and make her dreams come true!
