"The operation lasted more than five hours, the heart transplant was a success and the doctor announced today that the patient already wanted to go out," said the center cardiologist at ONT. Irina Grebenyuk.

According to experts, the intervention was standard, the clinic was ready to do it. Belarusian heart surgeons have a lot of experience. Since the beginning of the year, the center has already performed 28 heart transplants. And it is the third case of heart transplant of a child. However, such a small patient in the hospital for the first time.

June 18 Dasha was 11 years old. Sergey Spiridonov, deputy director of the Scientific and Practical Center for Cardiology Surgery, and his colleagues came to congratulate the girl – they were the ones who operated on Dasha.

– The main gift for me is a good badysis. That means I'll be home soon. If he was bad, he should stay in the hospital, says Dasha.
