Her life has been saved thanks to an amazing medical team in Leeds.
A Leeds mum who put her tiredness down to having kids found out she actually had a sinister condition.
Leeds Children’s Hospital heart surgeons have now performed two scimitar syndrome repairs on Vicky and Emma using an innovative surgical procedure, never-before performed in the UK. The new ‘Lugones’ procedure – pioneered in Argentina by Dr Ignacio Lugones – is an innovative way to redirect the blood to the correct side of the heart, using the heart’s own lining.
Only four weeks after the major heart surgery Vicky already felt better then pre-surgery, had a better appetite, is sleeping better and a post-operative scan four days later showed that the right side of heart had already dramatically reduced in size. Speaking after her surgery, Vicky said: "It was a bit unnerving and scary but I had confidence in Mr Pelella and it was really reassuring that Mr Lugones could be there to supervise the operation… It wasn’t like meeting two surgeons it was like making two new friends.
"Before surgery my heart might not have been strong enough to cope with a pregnancy. Our prospects for starting a family are now so much more positive – thanks to this procedure."
